Osceola County names new sheriff
By Victoria Martin
Cadillac News
REED CITY — A week after
Osceola County Sheriff Justin
Halladay announced he would be
stepping away from his position,
a selection panel has named a
new sheriff.
A selection panel made up of
County Clerk Karen Bluhm,
County Probate Judge Tyler
Thompson and County Prosecut-
ing Attorney Tony Badovinac
unanimously approved Ed Wil-
liams from among a pool of
seven applicants.
Coming from a military back-
ground, Williams was the only
candidate from outside the coun-
ty but has leadership experience
and the only applicant with expe-
rience in grant writing.
“Coming into Osceola County
will have its challenges but that
is something that I am used to,”
he said. “I have changed units.
I went from being a leader from
one unit to a leader in another, to
a leader in another. Your values
and your morals do not stop at
the door somewhere else. They
continue to move one and you
learn from every organization
you are a part of.”
The panel spoke as to why they
selected Williams.

‘Your values and your morals do not stop at the door
somewhere else. They continue to move one and you
learn from every organization you are a part of.’
Ed Williams
Recently named Osceola County Sheriff
n
“His qualifications and resume
are quite impressive,” Thomp-
son said. “His military training
and his training over in Clare
County set him up to run about
anything.”
“Leadership-wise, Mr. Wil-
liams is right up there at the
top,” Bluhm added.
In being named the new sher-
iff, Williams said the first thing
he was going to do was get to
know the employees.
“The first 90 days, that’s a big
thing. That’s where you start
with the people,” he said. “It’s go-
ing to be taking a step back and
looking at people.”
In taking the position, Wil-
liams admitted he would have
a lot of learning to do when it
came to everything from policies
to training and how the depart-
ment handles complaints.
Williams’ position as sheriff
ficial smoke to identify any pos-
sible leaks.
From Monday, Aug. 26 through
Thursday, Aug. 29 Reed City’s
Department of Public Works
will be conducting sewer tests to
find any leaks from homes that
may lead to excess water being
pushed into the water treatment
system than necessary.
Though the main lines have
been cleared from debris and
will be effective as of Sept. 8. He
will then have the option to run
for the position in the 2020 elec-
tion season.
Two others — from the origi-
nal pool of seven — interviewed
with the panel on Wednesday.
With a lack of institutional
leadership experience, Mark
Cool came in with a plan to stick
around with the position for
quite some time.
“In 1995, I put on the uniform
for the first time and it wasn’t
long after that the sheriff took
me into his office and he told me
’this could be you someday’,”
Cool said. “Fast-forward 15 years,
I had made the decision that I
was going to be sheriff someday.”
The third candidate, Chris
Lockhart, had actually asked the
board to rescind he application
due to Cool being his cousin. De-
spite his previous request, Lock-
repaired where needed, DPW
Water System Operator In
Charge Rich Rehkopf said it is
also necessary to test for leaks at
area homes.
“This is the only way we can
figure out where a problem is,”
Rehkopf said. “We won’t have
any idea how many leaks there
are until we do this.”
Using a machine placed on top
of manholes throughout the city,
Ed Williams was selected to be appointed as the new Osceola County Sheriff on
Wednesday, Aug. 14 until the end of the term in 2020.
hart still came to the interview
after the panel told him they
were impressed with his resume.
In sitting down for the inter-
view, Lockhart was not sure if he
would accept the position should
it be given to him but, with his
17 years at the Osceola County
artificial smoke will be forced
through the sewer lines with air
pressure to help locate any in-
flow and infiltration areas in the
sewer system caused by breaks
in the lines, breaks in manholes,
and broken clean-outs. The test
will also help locate any unlaw-
ful sewer connections, such as
downspouts, weep tiles, and
sump pumps discharging into
the sanitary sewer.

department and three years
working in the private sector,
Lockhart said law enforcement
is his calling.
“I think with law enforcement,
just like many things, is a calling
for God and that is why I cannot
get out of it,” he said.
To locate these leaks, Rehkopf
and a team will be walking up
and down streets to locate any
smoke coming from homes.
The testing will take place be-
tween 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. during
the four days of testing, Rehkopf
said. At this time there is no set
schedule as to which streets will
be tested but all the streets in the
city will be tested, he said.
