## Resource

After 40 years of service, Yellowstone County Sheriff Mike Linder is retiring—rising from unpaid volunteer to top law enforcement leader, driven by a mission to give back. He traded his family’s business for the drug unit, dove undercover, and climbed ranks to become sheriff in 2011. His legacy includes tech upgrades, cold case breakthroughs like the 1998 Miranda Fenner murder and the 1973 Bernhardt killings solved via DNA and genealogy, and community programs that kept people out of jail. Though he’s stepping down to spend time with his wife and pets, he’s still ready to lend a hand—maybe even helping the county fund a new detention facility. This isn’t an exit—it’s a graceful handoff, with his heart still firmly in the community. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
