Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels is trading his badge for a whistle in an effort to connect with local kids and provide a safe place for them to go after school.'Somebody had to help these kids,” he said. The sheriff coached high school athletes for 26 years, before retiring two years ago. When American Leadership Academy opened in Sierra Vista this past fall, he was offered the opportunity to return to coaching; something he couldn’t turn down.
“This is part of my job as a sheriff, too,' Dannels said. 'It's working right in the community, and again, working with these kids. And it, to me, is just one of the greatest things. They understand what a sheriff does. They understand what law enforcement are about, and we're building respect between each other every day.”Having two teams practice at the same time, Dannels called some of his former state-placing wrestlers in for back-up.
