What happened
Longtime sheriff Todd Glander is retiring at the end of the year, leading to a leadership contest in Becker County. Shane Richard is one of the officers vying to replace Glander in the Sheriff’s Office. The county's law enforcement staff has grown from 21 to 27 since 2019.

Why it matters
The successor to the sheriff role is expected to manage a growing workload, more complex cases, and increasing demands on the county budget. The jail, which currently houses 100 inmates, is significantly larger than when Glander began his career, and deputies increasingly respond to fentanyl-related cases and mental health crises.
