Dave Reichert is a Proven Leader With Experience Serving His Community

Dave Reichert’s record of service to others began in 1971 when he joined the Air Force Reserves’ 939th Military Airlift Command.

Following his time in the military, Reichert embarked on an historic 33-year law enforcement career at the King County Sheriff’s Office. Dave started as a beat cop before he was appointed (then elected) King County Sheriff where he led an 1,100-person organization for eight years.

As lead detective of the tenacious and dedicated investigative team, Reichert worked alongside officers, medical examiners, and volunteers to capture the monster known as the “Green River Killer” who senselessly murdered countless women in Washington State during the 1980s and 1990s.

Reichert was honored by the National Sheriff’s Association with their “Sheriff of the Year” award, was a two-time Medal of Valor Award recipient and was also given the Attorney General’s Award for “courageous action”.
