Details of Nowlin inauguration

Montezuma County Sheriff Dennis Spruell will surrender his command to Sheriff-elect Steve Nowlin next week.
Nowlin will be sworn into office on Jan. 13. Presided over by District Court Judge Todd Plewe, the public ceremony starts at 9 a.m. inside the County Annex building on Main Street.
Nowlin said Wednesday that he’d name his undersheriff after the inuaguration.
“I don’t have the authority to hire an undersheriff yet, so I can’t name my new undersheriff until after I take the oath of office,” Nowlin said.
Nowlin said he would also release new department policy and procedure guidelines within days of his inauguration.
“The procedural manuals will be posted on the sheriff’s website for everybody to see,” he said.
During his campaign, Nowlin vowed to maintain an open-door policy with the press and provide access to all public records. He also intends to introduce a new Facebook page for the sheriff’s office.
Nowlin defeated Spruell in the Republican primary in June.
“It will be used to provide more general information, such as emergency-type situations,” he explained.
In addition to Nowlin, all county candidates will be sworn into office next Tuesday at the County Annex.
