Local law enforcement shares recruitment challenges

Three law enforcement leaders from Door and Kewaunee counties held a press conference on Friday at the Sturgeon Bay Police Department addressing the challenges in recruiting officers to their respective forces.  The hour-long forum was hosted by First District Representative Joel Kitchens and featured Sturgeon Bay Police Chief Clint Henry, Kewaunee County Sheriff Matt Joski , and Captain Carl Waterstreet of the Door County Sheriff’s Department.  The three law enforcement officials covered topics ranging from dealing with limited applicants for filling positions in their respective departments to a lack of resources in dealing with mental health encounters on a regular basis.  Sunday is National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, and you can watch the entire video of the panel discussion on the challenges local law enforcement agencies are facing below.
