The first Black sheriff in Wyoming takes over an agency that has faced significant controversy CNN 2/21/2021 By Emma Tucker, CNN

Aaron Appelhans, 39, has taken charge of the Albany County Sheriff s Office, which faces two pending lawsuits and calls for reform in the aftermath of the fatal shooting of Robert Robbie Ramirez by a deputy in 2018. You don t see a whole lot of African Americans in law enforcement, Appelhans told CNN. So, I m trying to overcome that roadblock of taking a non-traditional career path and affect change within my community.
