For nearly four decades Logan County Sheriff Jim Bauman has served and protected citizens across the state. This past weekend, a reception was held to honor his service. Although, the Sheriff may not be done serving the public.
Several filed into Community Church on Friday evening to say thank you to not only Bauman, who will have served eight years as sheriff, but also Undersheriff Craig McCleary.
After visiting, watching a slide show and enjoying food and cake, Bauman thanked everyone who gathered around him. He told the group that his success was a team effort.
Bauman said he was proud to pay the jail off early and leave the office with $3 million in the bank.
Afterwards, several law enforcement officers shared their favorite stories of Bauman with many ending their speech with gratitude for the commander and what he had done for them.
Bauman says he is entertaining offers in the private sector and looks forward to his next chapter.
