Kane County Sheriff Tracy Glover receives Utah Sheriffs Association Sheriff of the Year award

At their conference in the last week of September, the Utah Sheriffs Associa­tion unanimously awarded Kane County Sheriff Tracy Glover their ‘Sheriff of the Year’ Award, celebrating Glover’s “[advocacy] for public safety, law enforce­ment collaboration and rural community support throughout his tenure.”

In addition to serving as the president of the Utah Sheriff Association, Sher­iff Glover was also com­mended by the association for his efforts to support the recent Amendment C, which, in Glover’s words, “guarantees the voters have the power to choose who leads law enforcement in their county …. It protects the democratic rights of the people, keeping law enforcement accountable and responsive to Utah’s communities … supporting a system where sheriffs are elected by the people, for the people, and remain directly accountable to their com­munities.” Glover was also commended for his leader­ship role in the Sheriffs Association’s recent calls for ICE to improve local cooperation before deploy­ing local law enforcement in their operations.

This award follows close on the heels of Glover re­ceiving a similar Sheriff of the Year title from the Western States Sheriffs Association, which Sher­iff Glover serves as Vice President.

Sheriff Glover stated on this recent award, “Receiv­ing an award like this is a humbling experience, espe­cially from sheriffs across the state for whom I have great respect. Serving the sheriffs at the statewide level and serving the people of Kane County on a local level has been the experi­ence of a lifetime.”
