Meet Our Sheriff
Sheriff Larry A. Dever Cochise County, Arizona
Sheriff Larry Dever is a native of Cochise County and a 34-year Cochise County law enforcement veteran. He was elected to his first term as Sheriff in 1996, following a distinguished 20-year career working in the trenches of Cochise County law enforcement. Entering the profession as a deputy in 1976, Sheriff Dever rose through the ranks from sergeant to major before successfully seeking political office and then being re-elected to a fourth term in 2008.
As Sheriff, his administration has been particularly challenged by a tremendous influx of illegal immigration and associated casualties in the area. He has been called upon to testify before Congress on three separate occasions regarding these issues and has assumed a forward leadership role in attempting to bring resolution to related local concerns. The Sheriff's expertise led to his recent election as the Chairman of the Southwest Border Sheriffs' Coalition.
