| Info | Sheriff Sue Rahr was chosen to replace Dave Reichert as King County Sheriff in 2005. Sheriff Rahr has been in law enforcement for over 20 years, and earned a B.A. in criminal justice.
Sheriff Rahr began her exemplary career with five years on patrol at Precincts Two and Three and undercover narcotics. Following her promotion to sergeant, she supervised Precinct Four patrol and the Burglary/Larceny, Proactive, Criminal Warrants, and Special Assault Units. Six years later, she was promoted to operations lieutenant/captain at Precinct Three. She later served as the commander of the Internal Investigations and Gang Units, and the Special Investigations Section. She was promoted to major of Precinct Two in 1997, and was selected to be the police chief for Shoreline in 1998. She was Chief of the Sheriff's Office Field Operations Division for 4 1/2 years before being selected as Sheriff.
Sheriff Rahr was born in Wyoming, but moved to Bellevue when she was five. She has six brothers, and says that her place in the family has influenced her leadership style.
"I couldn't overpower them, so I had to find solutions that gave us something for everyone. Of course, it also taught me to be tough when I need to be," says Rahr.
Today, Sheriff Rahr is married with two teenage sons.
