KOOTENAI COUNTY, Idaho There’s a new sheriff in North Idaho, and he’s already making some changes starting with two community projects.
Sheriff Robert Norris was sworn in as interim sheriff on Friday. His official four-year term doesn’t start for another 11 days. He was elected in November, replacing Sheriff Ben Wolfinger, who retired after eight years as sheriff.
Norris has 30 years of law enforcement experience under his belt. He worked for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department before moving to Kootenai County in 2013 where he served on the county’s search and rescue team.
