SCROLL DOWN

Sheriff Rigby brings more than two decades of experience in law enforcement to his position as Wasatch County Sheriff.

Having spent most of his life in the area, Rigby's deep-rooted connection to the community drives his dedication to ensuring its safety and well-being. After moving to Heber in high school, Rigby met his wife while attending Wasatch High School. He started working for Wasatch County in 2001 as a corrections officer before attending the Salt Lake Community College Law Enforcement Academy, which helped him successfully transition into a new role as a patrol deputy.

After earning his bachelor’s degree in political science at BYU, he completed law school and a master’s degree in public administration at University of North Dakota. His success in higher education opened doors for him to clerk for several judges in both North Dakota and Utah, as well as the United States Air Force. Upon returning to Utah, he passed the bar and did some work for the Wasatch County Attorney’s Office but was eager to return to a life of service in law enforcement.

He was named Chief Deputy to Todd Bonner in 2009, a position he held until Bonner retired in 2018, making way for Rigby to run for Sheriff. He is now in his second term as Wasatch County Sheriff and is most proud of the way the Office has demonstrated a commitment to student safety. As the community continues to grow and add more schools, he has worked tirelessly to ensure there is a deputy on every campus.

Sheriff Rigby and his wife, Krisann, have 10 children who all help on the family farm. He enjoys boating, staying involved in the community, and training for triathlons.
