Sheriff
Todd Dahl presented as Sertoma Businessman of the
Month. He started out with a John Raboin joke and
then introduced himself as the County Sheriff for
the past three years with 24 years in law
enforcement. Todd is married for sixteen years and
has two children. He grew up in Brainerd and
attended Bemidji State University. His background is
very much teaching oriented with firearms training
and marshal arts. Special ops has always been his
passion. Todd is very proud of the fact that they
are working very hard to get narcotics off the
street. The drugs today are downright scary. He
focused on restructuring the department to establish
a special force to concentrate on this problem. They
have eliminated three marijuana farms in the past
year. Reporting to their office has improved. His
office encompasses 133 employees. within the
Sheriff's division. Summer time involves 50 deputies
as compared to 15 when he started. Sheriff Dahl
talked about the differences in criminal
investigation today including things like identity
theft and cyber crimes. They have one officer
specializing in these areas. Parents have to keep
much better tabs on their children and their
activities. His most embarrassing moments came with
split pants in the middle of emergencies. Todd
joined Sertoma to become part of a community
"family" and to work with a fun-loving group of
people. He talked about the wonderful education and
great up-bringing he had in the community. He wants
to give back to that community and that is exactly
what Sertoma does. He has reached his goal-to be
sheriff of Crow Wing County and hopes to continue to
do good work.
