Lt. Jason Veeser has done just about everything else at the Kewaunee County Sheriff’s Department prior to him being named Chief Deputy earlier this week. Before the Kewaunee County Board’s Executive Board approved the promotion, Veeser worked in the Sheriff’s Department’s jail, patrol, and dispatch divisions. In 2016, Veeser graduated from the Wisconsin Certified Public Manager Program and Law Enforcement Command College. Kewaunee County Sheriff Matt Joski says he will bring a lot of knowledge to the role.

Veeser will replace David Cornelius, who is set to retire in January. Joski says Cornelius’ retirement set off a string of shuffling roles within the department, including the position of lieutenant of operations which Veeser is vacating.
