Sheriff wade has been a part of the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office dating back to 1996, when he started in the jail as a Corrections Deputy. He then worked his way up through the ranks to become Sheriff.
We recently ran a story where he had been selected as President of the Alabama Sheriff’s Association:
When a Sheriff retires mid term, the Governor will appoint someone to fill the position until the next election, when one will then be elected. This is a developing story, as we get more information, the story will be updated.
