Norris to seek second term

| January 3, 2024 1:00 AM

Kootenai County Sheriff Robert “Bob” Norris announced he will seek election to another term.

“I am proud to declare my continued commitment to the citizens of Kootenai County,” Norris said, in a news release. 

Norris said his first term highlights many successes, which he listed: “Cultivating a culture within the sheriff’s office to place protecting Kootenai County citizens’ rights as the No. 1 priority. Developing new sheriff’s office community outreach programs through town halls, open houses, coffee/breakfast with the sheriff and other special events. Increasing donations for sheriff’s office operations, including K-9, Marine, Dive, Search and Rescue Teams and equipment to help offset taxpayer funding needs. Turning the office from a command central organization to empowering employees with ownership stakes in community outcomes (i.e., developing a management-by-objective culture). Developing a helicopter program that does not cost county taxpayers one additional penny. Embracing the role of a community-engaged sheriff. Kootenai County Sheriff’s Employee Association overwhelmingly voted 93% to support my reelection.”
