Sending our deepest condolences to the men and women of the Door County Sheriff’s Office and especially to the family of Deputy Fuerst. Rest easy brother!
It is with the deepest regret the Door County Sheriff’s Office announces the unexpected death of Deputy Timothy J. Fuerst. Deputy Fuerst passed away on Saturday, June 5, 2021 at the Door County Medical Center after a sudden illness.
Visitation will be on Wednesday, June 9, 2021 from 2:00pm to 5:45pm at the Huehns Funeral Home, 1414 Michigan Street, Sturgeon Bay, WI. A funeral service will held at the funeral home following the visitation. The service will begin at 6:00pm.

Please keep his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers in the coming days, weeks and months.
Tim was a thirty year veteran of the Door County Sheriff’s Office. Over Tim’s career he touched the lives of so many individuals within the Sheriff’s Office and our community. He embodied all the characteristics of a great law enforcement officer, his fun-loving, caring and compassionate personality shined through in everything he did.

STH 42 construction project from CTH BB to City of Kewaunee
(Kewaunee) To invest in Wisconsin’s transportation system, Governor Evers signed a $5.1 million contract to improve 9.9 miles of WIS 42 from the south Kewaunee/Manitowoc County line to Baumeister Drive in the city of Kewaunee. The project will begin Tuesday, June 1, 2021 and scheduled to finish in October of 2021. WIS 42 will be closed and detoured when construction begins.
Northeast Asphalt, Inc. from Greenville, Wis. is the Prime Contractor.
Project improvements
This is a resurfacing-level project with replacement of two large box culvert under the roadway. Work includes:
• Mill and resurface the existing asphalt pavement
• Replace deteriorating box culvert 300′ south of Lakeview Drive
• Replace deteriorating box culvert ¾-mile north of County J
• Repair/replace various culvert pipes in work zone
• Storm sewer, beamguard and pavement marking
• Rumble strip installation
• Minor grading and shoulder widening
• Please see the WIS 42 Project Construction websites below for construction exhibits and displays.
Traffic impacts
WIS 42 will be CLOSED AND DETOURED to through traffic from Tuesday, June 1, 2021 to September 2021 for culvert work and construction on the lower level of pavement.
• Access will be maintained to businesses and properties in the work zone.
• Temporary business signing information is available on the project website below.
• Flagging operations will be used for work conducted not under full closure.
Detour
• WIS 42 northbound: County BB west to County AB north to WIS 29 east back to WIS 42.
• WIS 42 southbound: WIS 29 west to County AB south to County BB east to WIS 42.
Project benefits
The project will address minor deformations and cracking in the pavement surface which will reduce surface roughness and provide smoother driving surface for motorists. The asphalt overlay will also extend the life of the existing pavement. Upgrades to guard rail and the addition of centerline and edge line rumble strips will enhance safety.

The Kewaunee County Sheriff’s Department is investigating numerous thefts of catalytic converters from motor vehicles. The areas around Luxemburg and Algoma have been targeted. Citizens are asked to be on the lookout for any suspicious activity around isolated vehicles or vehicles that are left unattended on isolated properties and parking areas. These incidents have taken place after dark as well as during the day time.
Please take the time to secure your vehicles and park them in well-lit locations or where you can view your vehicles. The more you can do to prevent your vehicle from being a target the better.
If you have any information that would assist in the apprehension of the person(s) committing these crimes please contact the Kewaunee County Sheriff’s Department (920)388-7108.
Congratulations to Deputy Chelsea Broomhall in her graduation from NWTC’s Law Enforcement Certification program. We are very fortunate to have her as a member of our law enforcement family serving our community.

-Sheriff Matt Joski-
In the coming weeks, you or a business you own may receive one of the letters attached to this post. The letter will most likely come from your Sheriff, but it will have the executive director of the BSSA's name on it in some locations.
This fundraising campaign aims to help the BSSA continue its strong support for the Office of Sheriff here in Wisconsin. The BSSA provides various services to the Sheriffs to include training, legal research, legislative assistance, and so much more. Now more than ever we need to continue this effort and look at ways to expand our services to the Sheriffs to help them better serve their counties.
Our goal is to engage more of our citizens in the BSSA by creating honorary memberships for those that choose to participate. We would love to have you partner with us and help to support the Office of Sheriff in Wisconsin.
If you have questions, feel free to contact the BSSA Executive Director at the following email: [email protected] or your local Sheriff.

As today is designated as "Administrative Professionals Day", I would like to give a heartfelt shout out to Mary Berkovitz and Angie Mueller who have dedicated themselves to the service of our community in the very challenging roles as Sheriff's Administrative Assistants. As part of my annual report out to the community I recently provided some background into the work that these two amazing ladies do for our department and I would like to share that article.
In every organization there is a system of processes which allows for the smooth and reliable transfer of information from one component of the organization to another. It is the center of all activity and its success relies on constant communication and the ability to adjust to changes on a moment’s notice. For the Kewaunee County Sheriff’s Department these processes involve the handling of all documentation from traffic citations to accident reports, civil process to criminal charge requests, juvenile referrals to open records requests. They involve providing information to the general public as well as agencies throughout Kewaunee County, the State of Wisconsin and in some cases the Federal Government.
All of this activity falls under the duties of “Sheriff’s Administrative Assistant” and in Kewaunee County we have two of the best; Mary Berkovitz and Angie Mueller. To provide a glimpse into the daily life of these two will be difficult in the space I have available for this article, but I will try to provide a broad overview.
From the moment a report is generated to the time when it goes to court our Sheriff’s Administrative Assistants are a vital link between the responding officers to the Supervisory staff where reports are filed reviewed proofed, and ultimately submitted to either the District Attorney’s Office, Human Services or the many other agencies with whom we work with on a daily basis. Here at the Sheriff’s Department all reports are dictated by the responding Officers which then require them to be transcribed by the Sheriff’s Administrative Assistants. This accounts for a great deal of the volume of work which is done by these two employees. Beyond just transcribing they also must make sure all of the incidents are coded correctly so that the monthly reports to the Department of Justice are accurate and reflect the actual offenses occurring in Kewaunee County.
Beyond the world of law enforcement reports they are also involved in the civil process work that is done at the Sheriff’s Department. This involves the service of court orders ranging from sheriff sales to writ of executions, evictions to restraining orders. Even after the reports have left the Sheriff’s Department and the cases have moved forward in the legal process, many times we receive requests for various reports which these two employees facilitate.
In the world of law enforcement where documentation is everything, the need for accurate and timely reports is vital and we are very fortunate to have two dedicated individuals who make sure the “I’s” have been dotted and the “T’s” crossed. Thank you Mary and Angie!

Those who would have went past the Luxemburg Sports Complex on Wednesday would have noticed quite a few cones and squad cars around. Today and several times over the next week and a half, members of our department, along with the City of Algoma Police Department, City of Kewaunee Police Department and Luxemburg Police Departments will be going through an Emergency Vehicle Operation and Control (EVOC) and pursuit training course. As part of our continual training, officers in this course, start out by performing a Breaking and Evasive Maneuver. The purpose of these maneuvers is to try and prepare officers for many of the unknowns we may encounter while on patrol. Performing them in a controlled environment allows us to see the limitations of the vehicles we drive as well as the limitations of ourselves. (There are a few videos attached of various squads going through these maneuvers.) After going through the two maneuvers, officers participated in mock pursuits and “high-risk” traffic stops. Pursuits are inherently dangerous, which makes it even more crucial that we take the opportunity to cover this topic thoroughly and train whenever possible. We would like to extend a big thank you to the Luxemburg/Casco School District for allowing us to utilize the parking lot of the sports complex.
This is a brief video of what to expect at the Wake Up Call presentation on April 16, 2018 at Kewaunee High School. This is a FREE presentation open to adults only (21 years of age or older)
After over three years of planning we are finally on the eve of Kewaunee County's Farm Technology Days. This three day event (Tuesday, July 11th to Thursday, July 13th) is one of the largest in the country and has required our community to come together to make this happen. There will be a lot of people coming to our county to visit this event, this means a lot more traffic in the area. Please slow down, take your time, and let’s show those who are coming to visit the great community we are all a part of. Stay safe and have fun!
