Everett Sesker is a proud son of Anne Arundel County.  He was raised in Edgewater, surrounded by a large extended family who values community and making the world a better place for all. Like most kids growing up in south county, Everett spent his summers riding his bicycle from Edgewater to Mill Swamp and Sands Road to play basketball with friends and family. His Friday nights were always spent in Annapolis visiting his grandmother and longtime Annapolitian, Teresa Hicks on West Washington Street. A stand-out scholar- athlete and graduate of the South River High School Class of 1985, Everett was awarded a scholarship to Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina, double majoring in Communications and Political Science. As a first generation college graduate, this was a defining moment in his life - one that laid the foundation for his 30 plus years of stellar leadership throughout the great state of Maryland.

In 1990, Everett joined the Prince George’s County Police Department and served for 22 years. As a decorated law enforcement officer, he has served in various leadership capacities, most notably as the Commander of the Training and Education Division, supervising the education and training of new officers. He also had the responsibility of ensuring both sworn, civilian and student officers adhered to all training requirements set forth by the Maryland Police and Correctional Training Commissions (MPCTC).  Additionally, Everett served as Commander of the Narcotic Enforcement Division and Community Services Division.

 

Subsequent to serving the citizens of Prince George's County and retiring as a Major in 2012, Everett has been a trailblazer on issues that matter most to citizens: accountability and integrity in law enforcement. He was appointed as the Executive Director of the Maryland Police Training and Standards Commission in 2017.  Everett then moved back home to Anne Arundel County, ready to make a difference in the community that has nurtured and protected him since 1967.

​

After giving a great deal of thought and consultation with friends and family Everett decided to run as a candidate for Sheriff of Anne Arundel County in the 2022 election. Everett didn't run just to run, he saw a need for a change in leadership at the Sheriff's Office for the benefit of our county and residents. During his campaign he worked to garner support from all of Anne Arundel County's residents, not just a few. Everett believes that crime affects everyone and not just a few! He also believes that the Sheriff's Office needs to work with the other law enforcement agencies in the county and state to solve problems. During his time in office, he has worked diligently modernizing equipment, reorganizing bureaus to increase efficiency and effectiveness, and establishing pathways into the communities that Sheriff's Office serves. He has spent the majority of his adult life working with or in the profession of public safety and has earned the respect of his peers across the state. 

 

Everett is the proud father of two beautiful daughters Tyler and Ryan. He resides in Tracys Landing with his wife Jessie, a retired law enforcement officer.
