Two long-time members of the Door County Sheriff’s Department said goodbye this week after decades of service.

Lt. Bob Lauder retired after joining the Sheriff’s Reserves in 1998. He was hired as a full-time deputy the following year. He started in the jail division before moving to patrol. Lauder was also a team commander on the department’s SWAT team and a founding member of its honor guard.

Jan Schartner also retired this week after joining the department in 1997. She made the switch after serving in the Soil and Water Conservation Department for six years. As the records clerk, she oversaw the legal paper service function of the Sheriff’s Department as well as handling its open records requests.
