Governor Kay Ivey announced Monday the appointment of Anthony Lowery as the new Baldwin County Sheriff. Lowery, currently the chief deputy in the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO), will succeed Sheriff Hoss Mack, who is stepping down after two decades to lead the Alabama Sheriffs Association.
His law enforcement career spans 28 years, including previous work in the Baldwin County District Attorney’s Office and two decades with the Sheriff’s Office.
“Baldwin County continues serving its residents, as well as a record number of visitors each year, and we certainly pride ourselves keeping it a safe place to live, work and visit. Bringing both wide-ranging law enforcement experience, as well as community involvement, Anthony Lowery will make a strong and effective sheriff for the area,” Governor Ivey said.
“Sheriff Hoss Mack leaves large shoes to fill, but I am confident Anthony is more than prepared to lead.”

I look forward to serving the people of Baldwin County.”
