THERE’S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN

recalls attending Thanksgiving dinner as a kid when his step-grandfather would stop by for a quick meal during his break. “It impressed me how much everyone respected him and loved him,” Sadler says.

“That really stuck with me. Of course I also remember him running out the door, turning on the lights and zooming down the road. That made an impression.”

In 1993, a year after graduating from Danville Community High School, Sadler went to Vincennes University to study law enforcement. During his last semester there, he interned with the Vincennes Police Department. He later landed a full-time job there from 1996 to September of 1999, before returning to Hendricks County.
