Shawnee County Sheriff Brian C. Hill is running for reelection.
Hill on Feb. 1 became the first candidate to file to enter the race for the sheriff's office he has held since 2019, Shawnee County Election Office records said.
A resident of Rossville, Hill served from 1991 to 2017 with the Topeka Police Department, including 17 years as a narcotics and homicide detective. He then served with the police department for Topeka Unified School District 501.
Hill survived suffering four gunshot wounds in 2016 in a gunbattle with a convenience store robber, who was also wounded and subsequently went to prison.
