Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall is running unopposed for reelection and poised to begin a seventh term after more than two decades overseeing Nashville’s jail system, the Nashville Banner reports. Hall says he remains committed to the role as the department faces challenges including jail overcrowding, contraband smuggling and the need for expanded mental health services. The department is responding through the county's Behavioral Care Center, which provides alternatives to the traditional jail system, and investing in new technology and enforcement measures to curtail dangerous drugs entering facilities. Hall also says he is reviewing a legislation requiring cooperation with federal immigration authorities and that his office is seeking legal guidance on how it may affect current practices. That measure is awaiting the governor's signature.
