Glacier County commissioners on Tuesday swore in Tom Seifert as the county's interim sheriff, with the appointment effective 12:01 a.m. Dec. 24, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2026, the commission announced.
The commission's acting chair congratulated Seifert at the start of the meeting, saying, "our new interim sheriff is gonna be Tom Seifert," and asked him to come forward to be sworn in. Seifert recited the oath, including the pledge "to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Montana" and to discharge the duties "of my office, Sheriff of Glacier County, with fidelity."
The ceremonial swearing-in was followed by brief remarks from colleagues praising Seifert's years of service and work ethic.
