Brother of sheriff running for office

Posted

Former Wyoming Special Agent Darrell Steward has announced that he will be running for Park County sheriff.

Darrell is the brother of current Park County Sheriff Scott Steward, who announced in April that he will be running for a seat on the Park County Commission.

Darrell, a self-proclaimed conservative Republican and lifelong Park County resident, has served as a Park County Detention Deputy (1987-1988), Cody Police Officer/Detective (1988-2003), and Special Agent for the State of Wyoming (2003-2022). 

He recently announced his retirement from his position as a Wyoming special agent in order to campaign for the office of Park County sheriff. His retirement is effective May 11.

During his 35-year career, Darrell also served as a Cody volunteer fireman from 1988 to 2003 as an arson investigator.

He currently lives in Park County with Lynn, his wife of more than 30 years, and near his two sons, Monte (Cassidy) and Clint (Shakira).

Darrell said if he is elected, he hopes to enter the office with an open mind, serve the public with dignity and respect — and maintain a tough stance on crime.

“I’ve worked with the Park County Sheriff’s Department and Cody PD for a long time. I worked for them personally, and they’re both good — very good — organizations,” he said. “They’re running very well right now. I want to keep it that way. I want to be able to serve the public the best we can.”

Darrell also hopes to bring his investigative experience to the sheriff’s office by making sure deputies are trained on how to conduct a comprehensive investigation of a crime. 

“If it’s done correctly in the beginning, you don’t have to worry about trials and stuff as much in the end,” he said.

Darrell said he also brings with him a network of prosecutors, sheriffs, chiefs and deputies across the Big Horn Basin.

“(My family and I) are totally invested in Park County, which is our home,” he said.
