Kewaunee County Sheriff Matt Joski is proud of the members of his department during this time of uncertainty. On Saturday, Dane County Sheriff’s Deputy Rick Treadwell became the first COVID-19 law enforcement duty death in Wisconsin. Last week, the Green Bay Correctional Institution saw another spike in COVID-19 cases, infecting inmates and employees alike. Joski says all of his personnel have been wearing the proper personal protective equipment and are taking other precautions to keep the people they deal with on a regular basis. He adds everyone has continued to answer the call of duty.
As for the recent unrest in Kenosha related to another officer-involved death, Joski says it is a tragedy. He also believes the investigation should run its course out of respect to the police officers and the victims involved in the incident before conclusions are made.
