Des Moines County sheriff announces death of chief deputy; jail population, contracts discussed
Summary
Sheriff Kevin Glendening told the Board of Supervisors that Chief Deputy Chadwick Kim died; he also reported the jail population, out‑of‑county detainees and upcoming law‑enforcement contract paperwork for the county budget.
Kevin Glendening, Des Moines County sheriff, told the Board of Supervisors on Jan. 7, 2025, that the county’s chief deputy, Chadwick Kim, has died and asked the board and the public to keep Kim’s family in their thoughts.
“We we lost our chief deputy, Chadwick Kim. He was, an amazing father, husband, friend, and leader of our office. Really can't put into words what he's meant to everybody around him,” Glendening said.
Glendening gave a brief operational update for the sheriff’s office and the county jail. He reported the jail population at 92 inmates that morning and said 22 were housed out of county. He also said several inmates were being sent to prison and a few others were being transferred, and that the out‑of‑county number had “been holding pretty solid.”
Glendening told the board that the county’s annual law‑enforcement contract with the city was approved by the Minneapolis City Council the previous night and that the contract “will be in front of the board for next week” as the county completes its budget work. He said most city contracts and school resource officer agreements were expected to be wrapped up for the budget, with the exception of Middletown, which had not yet appeared in paperwork.
Glendening also said the office is planning for the fiscal year and watching jail population and contract details as they finalize budgets.
The sheriff’s remarks were part of routine department reports at the start of the Jan. 7 meeting of the Des Moines County Board of Supervisors.
