After serving as the interim sheriff since January, the King County Council unanimously voted to confirm Patti Cole-Tindall as the new King County Sheriff on Tuesday, May 24.<\/p>\n
Cole-Tindall is the first sheriff to be appointed since King County voters changed the position from an elected one to an appointed position, according to the county.<\/p>\n
“As we face big challenges in providing both basic public safety and the changes demanded by our community, Patti Cole-Tindall brings a unique combination of experience and leadership as she takes on the role of Sheriff,” Council Chair Claudia Balducci said. “She has proven she can work with a wide variety of people in law enforcement and the community, and that she can lead an effective organization while driving change.”<\/p>\n
Before being appointed to the interim sheriff, Cole-Tindall worked as the undersheriff beginning in 2020. Cole-Tindall worked as the director of the King County Office of Labor Relations for six years, according to the county.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
