Constable Robert Gronauer fields a question at a press conference introducing the new "Fair Share" program
Laurie Bisch
Two people have thrown their hat in the ring to become the next sheriff of Clark County.
Robert “Bobby G” Gronauer, a former Las Vegas Township constable, announced this morning his intention to run for sheriff.
“A new month brings a fresh perspective and new challenges,” Gronauer said in a statement released to the media. “With this in mind, we are excited and proud to announce that I will be a candidate for Sheriff of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.”
Gronauer is currently president of his Las Vegas-based private investigations and security company, Bobby G & Associates. In 1999, Gronauer retired as a sergeant from Metro Police after a 24-year career with the department, according to a biography on his company website.
Metro Police officer Laurie Bisch also announced her candidacy Monday during an interview with KSNV Channel 3.
“I think the citizens are looking for a change,” she told KSNV. “They’re looking for more of a different leadership style.”
Bisch also ran for sheriff in 2010 and 2006.
Bisch, a patrol officer in the Bolden Area Command, has been employed by Metro since September 1993.
Incumbent Sheriff Doug Gillespie announced last month he would not seek a third term in 2014 and would instead serve out his term, which expires in January 2015.
