Former Sheriff Bob Edwards faced revocation of his peace officer and coroner’s certifications by the Montana Peace Officers Standards and Training Council after a 2017 arrest for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend. Although charges were eventually dropped following an agreement with prosecutors, POST decided to revoke his certifications. Edwards appealed the decision, and in February 2020, a mutual agreement was finalized, reinstating his certifications with the condition that he would not seek law enforcement employment requiring certification until January 1, 2024.
