Cahalen experienced and motivated

If you don't think a woman is capable of heading our Sheriff's office, you have not met Evelyn Cahalen. Evelyn is running for Sheriff in the June 2 Primary. With a master's degree in Police Executive Leadership from Johns Hopkins University, a bachelor's degree in administration of justice, and 25 years serving in law enforcement leadership roles, she is more than well-equipped to serve Flathead County. She led multiple commands, and post-retirement, taught law enforcement leadership across not only the country, but also across the world. 

To name but a few of Evelyn's accomplishments; she served as a consultant and trainer with the US Dept. of State Anti-Terrorism Assistance, a subject matter expert on community policing with the US Dept. of Justice, a consultant for the National Sheriff's Association in Alexandria, VA, the district commander for the Field Services Bureau of the Dept of Police in Montgomery County, Maryland, and a consultant with the International Association of Chiefs of Police.  

Evelyn's compassion is not only for law enforcement, but also for the morale and well-being of the officers who perform these duties; including career advancement opportunities. 

Evelyn and her husband first came to Montana in 2002 on vacation, riding their Harley Davidson motorcycles, and have since made Montana their home.  

What a great opportunity we have here in Flathead County to benefit our community by electing such a highly educated, experienced and motivated candidate for Sheriff.
