Lowery Named New Baldwin County Sheriff

Gov. Kay Ivey has announced her choice of Anthony Lowery to serve as the next Baldwin County sheriff, effective September 1. The current sheriff, Hoss Mack, will soon be leaving the post after two decades to serve as head of the Alabama Sheriffs Association. A lifelong resident of Baldwin County, Lowery presently serves as chief deputy in the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office. In his nearly 20 years with the office, he has held a variety of responsibilities and taken on many special projects, making him well-prepared to lead the force, Ivey said. She added, “Bringing both wide-ranging law enforcement experience, as well as community involvement, Anthony Lowery will make a strong and effective sheriff for the area. Sheriff Hoss Mack leaves large shoes to fill, but I am confident Anthony is more than prepared to lead.” Lowery served as project manager for the construction of the Baldwin County Corrections Center expansion. He has a total of 28 years of law enforcement experience, beginning his career with the Baldwin County District Attorney’s Office.
