Brown County Sheriff's Office Official page of the Brown County Sheriff's Office Upon Cabot's return to England, he was paid his pension by Amerycke.

Although the office of sheriff is thought by many to have originated in ancient England, there are biblical references to such a position existing as early as 600 B.C. There are also those who believe that the United States of America was actually named for a Richard Amerycke, who was the High Sheriff of Bristol, England at the time King Henry VII authorized John Cabot's voyage to seek the New Wor

ld in 1497. Brown County has a very rich historical background. For over 200 years after the arrival of Jean Nicolet in 1634, fur traders and missionaries made this area a base for their operations. The boundaries of Brown County were established by the governor of Michigan Territory in the year 1818 as part of the Northwest Territory, after the American Revolution. The first sheriff in the State of Wisconsin was George Johnson, who was originally installed as the territorial sheriff, and later became the first sheriff of Brown County. Sheriff Johnson played an important role in the trial of Chief Oshkosh, which took place in Brown County. In 1957 with the election of Artley Skenandore, Brown County became the first county to elect a full-blooded Indian to the position of sheriff. Today in Wisconsin, the sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer of each county and is elected every four years on a partisan ballot. According to state law, his duties are to enforce the law in the county, take custody of the jail, attend the courts, and serve all processes. The sheriff is responsible to the electorate and can be removed from office by the governor, and then only for just cause.

Last Friday Denmark Middle School held their Veteran's Day program. For the 3rd year Deputy Dzekute was able to work with a group of 8th grade students who acted as The Color Guard for the program. The group of students was very dedicated and put in the time needed to make this a well oiled machine on the day of the program. Thank you Lt. Pawlak and Sgt. Pamenter for your assistance with the details and for being the front and rear rifle. We also have one of our local veterans who served in the Marine Corps. during Vietnam who carries the American Flag during the detail. The students not only have to learn the basics of drill and ceremony, but then they have to adapt to be able to work with various other people. "I was very proud of the entire group for coming together and putting on an unbelievable display for our full house on Friday morning."- School Resource Officer Dzekute.

Packing up for our friends in North Carolina.
