Dodge County Sheriff’s Office Looking For WLEAG Accreditation

Dodge County Sheriff Dale Schmidt announced Tuesday, March 14, 2023 that a team of assessors from the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Accreditation Group will arrive on March 21, to examine all aspects of the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office policies and procedures, management, operation, and support service.

Verification by the team that the Sheriff’s Office meets the board’s state-of-the-art standards is part of a voluntary process to gain accreditation – a highly prized recognition of law enforcement professional excellence.

As part of the on-site assessment, agency employees and members of the community are invited to offer comments at a public information session on March 22, starting at 5:00 p.m.

The session will be conducted in the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Operations Center/Training Room located on the second floor of the sheriff’s office at 124 West St, in Juneau.

Appearances at the public information session are limited to 10 minutes and must address the agency’s ability to comply with Wisconsin Law Enforcement Accreditation Group’s standards. A copy of the standards is available at the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office or on the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Accreditation Group website at http://www.wileag.info/core-standards-verification-program.html

Persons wishing to offer written comments about the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office’s ability to meet the standards for accreditation are requested to write to Wisconsin Law Enforcement Accreditation Group, at P.O. Box 528, Hartland, WI 53029.
