After solving the mystery of Andy Brady's murder and foiling a large drug-trafficking ring, it has been suggested to Andy's widow that she take over Andy's bid to run for Sherriff.

Now, Cochise County Arizona has its first female sherriff who is well experienced in beaurocratic nonsense, but now police procedure, but wants to be a sherriff, not just a paper-pusher!
