Glendale’s police chief on top list for sheriff
Glendale Police Chief Randy Adams has made it to the list of top nine candidates in the Orange County Board of Supervisors’ search for a new sheriff.
The announcement, made Friday, puts Adams into contention with acting Orange County Sheriff Jack Anderson, former Sheriff’s Lt. Bill Hunt and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Cmdr. Ralph Martin.
The county received 48 applications from across the country when then-Sheriff Michael Carona resigned his position to fight federal corruption charges. Other remaining candidates include Santa Ana Police Chief Paul Walters, Salt Lake County undersheriff Beau Babka, San Bernardino Undersheriff Richard Beemer, retired Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Division Chief Sandra Hutchens and Anaheim Deputy Police Chief Craig Hunter.
