Community calls for new Franklin County sheriff
Ottawans urged forward action after Sheriff Curry resigned amid a court hearing and a state diversion agreement. The Franklin County Commission reaffirmed support for law enforcement and vowed to work with the next sheriff to rebuild public trust. Residents voiced mixed views on justice, privacy, and transparency as Undersheriff Langer remains acting sheriff until a nominee is approved by Brownback following a Republican nominating convention.
