NORTHWOOD – Worth County Sheriff Dan Fank announced today that he will not seek re-election to office.
According to a statement from Sheriff Fank’s campaign:
Starting my 25th year here at the Worth County Sheriff’s Office, I have made the difficult decision that I will not be seeking re-election in 2024 and will be retiring from law enforcement in January 2025, for a total of 31 years in law enforcement at the end. I want to thank everyone for the support and the great memories that I have had. I have been honored and humbled to have served the citizens of Worth County, and I am proud to have been the Worth County Sheriff. I wish the best of luck to whomever wins the election to become the next sheriff and offer my assistance to make a smooth transfer of leadership.
Thank you all for the support
Sheriff Dan Fank
