FROM SMALL TOWN TO HIGH SHERIFF, AGE IS JUST A NUMBER TO JILLIAN MYERS

Sheriff Jillian Myers of Grafton County, New Hampshire, isn’t just the first and youngest female High Sheriff ever elected in her hometown, but she’s also a wife and mama to her three little girls. While a career in law enforcement wasn’t on her radar till college, Sheriff Myers says she couldn’t see herself doing anything else. Her commitment to the communities and people within her rural county, the staff under her watch, and her collaborative efforts with other law enforcement agencies have made an undeniable impact since her taking office in January of 2025. As one of only two female Sheriffs in New Hampshire and one of 50 Nationwide, this episode is a testament to courage, leadership, and commitment to making a difference, because age is really just a number.
