Mr. Beck won the nomination over Jim Winters, a former Hamilton county Medical Examiner’s Office investigator.
At Saturday’s party meeting, Mr. Beck listed department morale, school safety and jail overcrowding as priorities during his campaign.
The Hamilton County Republican Party will select its nominee for sheriff on March 27.
On Aug. 7, voters will choose a successor to former Sheriff Bill Long, who was arrested in February on a number of federal charges.
