King County Executive Dow Constantine announced the names of three candidates who will move forward in the final phase of recruitment for the new King County Sheriff. A total of 12 candidates submitted applications to the nationwide search that began in November. The three finalists are: Patti Cole-Tindall, interim sheriff, King County Sheriff's Office; Charles Kimble, chief of police, Killeen Police Department (Texas); and Reginald Moorman, major, Atlanta Police Department. In the final phase of the selection process, the candidates will meet with members of the Public Safety Advisory Committee, King County employees, labor representatives and contract city representatives, and engage with the community in a separate series of public forums prior to a final interview with Constantine. Forums will take place virtually, with the first on April 18 (6–8 p.m.) and the second on April 21 (9–11 a.m.). More information on the forums is at publicinput.com/KCSheriffSelection. The King County Sheriff's Office is transitioning to an appointed, rather than elected sheriff. Constantine will make the final selection and transmit the nomination in early May to the King County Council. The council will then begin its confirmation process, with the new sheriff expected to be on board this summer.
