So hoe many people do you typically have in the county jail? It just sounds like there's some challenges here. And anytime that there's an arrest in our jurisdiction, Portage County, they would come to our Portage County jail.īoy, logistically. We have university, we have Stevens Point police, the department of natural resources and the state patrol that all work in this jurisdiction. So we have basically, I think in the introduction to you, you did miss one of the municipal law enforcement which is Plover police. Does the city have a component of that or does the city like if there's a police arrest, somebody do they go to the county jail? We have a lot of, a lot of things going on in, you know, about an 18 million dollar budget. We have Plover fire, and we also have Amherst fire that have ambulance services here in Portage county. So I have an EMS service that we have the three providers here in Portage county.

And then I have the ambulance service, which is EMS. I also have emergency management, which deals with all Portage county in regards to disasters, getting resources for those events and also helping the municipalities when they need to get funding back for those. We have also the communications center, which dispatches for all the law enforcement here in Portage county and all fire and EMS. So we have to maintain, make sure that the inmates and our staff are safe. So when you think about it, I have the jail, which is probably the biggest liability of all in the county is having the jail function. So the Sheriff's has to be in charge of different aspects than just patrol such as municipal officers. Well, the Sheriff's office is very diverse compared to like municipal law enforcement because we have five divisions. If you had to sum it up in a sentence, what does the office do? What does the Sheriff's office do? Pretty safe to say, you know what you're doing? Right? No, I've been at law enforcement now for 30 years, 28 here in Portage county started as a deputy, moved up through the ranks and worked just about every position here in Portage county and was elected eight years ago and been loving it since Mike, you haven't been at it since 1842, but you're know, stranger to the, the office. Hey, with an active team of well over 120 professionals, the Sheriff's office partners with the city police departments, state patrol DNR, and the university police and over two dozen fire and EMS agencies to make Portage county safe and feel just like home. That's what they say I wasn't born back then. I show that Portage county has a city of Stevens point beat by 16 years. The Portage county Sheriff's office has a lot to be proud of as they have been serving the people since 1842 is what I found.
