Last evening, members of the Eau Claire County Sheriff’s Office Honor Guard trained alongside the Honor Guard teams from Altoona Police Department, Chippewa County Sheriff’s Office, Chippewa Falls Police Department, and the Eau Claire Police Department at Jacob’s Well Church.

Honor Guard training carries a different weight. While we hope these skills are never needed, this training serves as a grim reminder of the dangers inherent in the profession and the sacrifices law enforcement officers may be called upon to make.

These men and women willingly put themselves in harm’s way to protect their communities, while also preparing for the heartbreaking possibility that one of their own may make the ultimate sacrifice.

We are grateful for the dedication of these Honor Guard members and hope the day they are called upon to use this training never comes.

A special thank you to Jacob’s Well Church for providing a place for our Honor Guard teams to train, and to Lenmark-Gomsrud-Linn Funeral & Cremation Services for their continued support of law enforcement and for sharing their expertise with our Honor Guard members. The support of organizations like these is deeply appreciated and helps ensure our officers are prepared to honor their fallen brothers and sisters with the dignity and respect they deserve.

SCAM ALERT – Eau Claire County Sheriff’s Office

We are aware of a telephone scam in which scammers are spoofing the Eau Claire County Sheriff’s Office phone number (715-839-4702) to make their calls appear legitimate.

Please remember: Scammers can make it look like they are calling from a legitimate law enforcement agency. Don’t assume the caller is really who they claim to be.

Some of the most common law enforcement-related telephone scams include:
- Your loved one is in jail
- You have unpaid fines or tickets
- There is a warrant for your arrest
- You failed to report for jury duty

Scammers may pressure you to pay immediately, threaten arrest, or demand payment through unusual methods such as gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, or other hard-to-recover forms of payment.

If you receive a suspicious call, hang up. Do not provide personal or financial information. If you believe the call may be legitimate, independently look up the agency’s phone number and call back using a number you know is legitimate.

Please share this information with family members, friends, and especially those who may be more vulnerable to these types of scams.

When in doubt, slow down, and verify.

There are some messages you receive in this profession that stay with you. This is one of them.

Recently, a person currently incarcerated at our jail took the time to write a letter recognizing our correctional staff. The words were honest, humorous, and incredibly meaningful.

The letter acknowledged the patience, compassion, kindness, humility, and respect our correctional officers show every day—even when dealing with difficult, frustrating, and sometimes downright ridiculous requests.

Correctional officers don't always hear “thank you.” Their work can be challenging, stressful, and largely unseen by the public. Yet they continue to show up, day after day, and treat the people in their care with dignity and humanity.

As Sheriff, I couldn't be prouder of the men and women who serve in our jail. They represent the Eau Claire County Sheriff's Office exceptionally well. Thank you. You guys freaking rock! And thank you to the individual who took the time to remind us just how much the little things matter.

Below is the full text version of that letter.
“I want to take a moment to acknowledge YOU, all the corrections officers of the Eau Claire County Jail; for your kindness, compassion, and really treating us like were people. I admit that some of my requests are absolutely absurd, trivial, and unnecessary. And then there's how many other inmates making their, often, ridiculous requests (AT LEAST MINE AREN'T RIDICULOUSl).I cannot even begin to imagine the extent of the level of unnecessary grief you all endure EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. by us. But you do. .. and you keep CHOOSING TO come back here ... ?ya'II need to get your heads examined,.because what I'm about to say is something I cannot imagine is something ya'II hear often, especially by us, "societies rejects". In this EDOVO curriculum, I learned that there are facilities RIGHT HERE IN THE USA that the living conditions are similar to those in third world countries, and crooked co's operating them to boot. TO ALL OF THE STAFF OF THE EAU CLAIRE COUNTY JAIL, THANK YOUI THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LITTLE THINGS YA'LL DO, YOUR HUMILITY, AND RESPECT. I don't care what they say, YOU GUYS FREAKING ROCK! THANK YOU!”

We're looking for someone who:

- Builds a positive team culture
- Is committed to professionalism, accountability, and continuous improvement

The work our correctional staff does often happens behind the scenes, but it is essential to public safety. If you're ready to take the next step in your career and make a lasting impact on our organization, I encourage you to apply.
