Geary County Sheriff Dan Jackson will retire on Friday. He is wrapping up a career that includes a stint as sheriff since 2019, additional years with the Sheriff's Office and law enforcement, plus a total of 25 years in the military with that time split between the Navy and the Marine Corps. Jackson was appointed sheriff in 2019 to fill an unexpired term, and then elected to a term in that office in 2020.
During his time in the sheriff's role Jackson formed a command staff that focused leadership in three main divisions including administrative and technical services, operations and special operations. "I'm very comfortable with where the Geary County Sheriff's Office is at this point in time."
Other accomplishments included formation of a marine unit, and along with the Junction City Fire Department a dive rescue and recovery team.
