Pierce County Sheriff Ed Troyer will not seek re-election, the sheriff's department confirmed.
Troyer — a 39-year veteran with the sheriff’s department — was elected as sheriff in November 2020, replacing Paul Pastor. He was awarded a Medal of Merit five times in his career, a Lifesaving Award, two patrol Impact Awards and an Excellence in Traffic Safety Award.
“I said ‘No way.’ I wanted to talk to a jury. I put my hands in the fate of the jury,” Troyer continued. “Once they heard the facts and got all the information, we got the verdict that we were going for even though the attorney general, the governor – the most powerful people in the state were coming after me.”
The county and Troyer agreed to pay Altheimer $500,000 to settle the lawsuit. But the settlement did not include an admission of wrongdoing by the county or Troyer.“I have known Chief Patti Jackson for over 20 years, and she was a key member of my command staff,” Pastor said in a. “Patti has run the jail capably and compassionately while building a foundation of trust and respect with both her colleagues and individuals under her supervision.
And we heard about it from the media and not the guild. We work with the guilt a lot. I work with multiple guilds. And we respect guilds. And we work really hand in hand with them because we both want to get the same job done. In this particular incident, I’ve never met the guild president, they’ve never contacted me, they just went straight to the media with the results of what they wanted,” he continued.“Well, I understand their main concern is training.
Troyer added Jackson has made contacts with multiple agencies and is “considered a leader in the state.”Troyer believes in keeping elected sheriffs
