REMARKS FROM SHERIFF STANEK

Sherrif Stanek updated us on the work of the Hennepin County Sheriff's office on September 20th.  Richard W. Stanek is the 27th Sheriff of Hennepin County and is serving his third term as Sheriff.  Upon taking office in 2007, Sheriff Stanek redirected the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office mission to include fighting violent crime, leveraging technology to prevent crime, and enhancing outreach with diverse communities. These initiatives are conducted in partnerships with local law enforcement agencies and they have contributed to an historic decrease in violent crime countywide. A 30-year veteran of law enforcement, Sheriff Stanek began his career in the Minneapolis Police Department. While a police officer, he was elected five times to the Minnesota State Legislature where he authored the state’s felony DWI law. On the national level, Sheriff Stanek participated in President Obama’s law enforcement working group that addressed the intersection of mental illness and gun violence.​
