Capt. Steven A. Hall was sworn in Monday night to become St. Mary’s County’s new sheriff.
Sheriff Hall joined the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office as a correctional officer in 1994 and rose through the ranks during his career, working in every division of the agency.
Sheriff Hall is the 135th person to hold the office of sheriff in St. Mary’s County since 1637.
With a new sheriff taking office, agency deputies also renewed their oath of office at Monday’s ceremony held at Leonardtown High School.
