Yesterday 5 inmates graduated from Smart Recovery. This program focuses on healthy life choices and addiction. The impact this disease has affects more than the individual, it also does family, friends, and the community. We appreciate all the inmates that participate in these programs while they are incarcerated in the Wood County Jail. They are stepping up to get better while they are doing time for making mistakes.

A huge thank you to the recovery coaches from Three Bridges Recovery. Many of them are in the photo. You make this program happen and we appreciate our partnership. Together we are making a difference in our community.

We would like to wish K9 Ripp a happy 2nd Birthday today! 🎉 Even though Ripp just finished his first year at Auburndale Schools, he seems to be cruising into summer vacation, just fine! Ripp is also wondering if K9 Reggie at Marshfield Police Department is enjoying his summer as much as him?

After dedicating over 18 years of distinguished service to the Wood County Sheriff's Department and over 25 years of law enforcement service total, we are pleased to announce that Deputy Shannon Tollefson has officially retired.

Deputy Tollefson has consistently demonstrated loyalty, dedication, and a strong work ethic throughout his tenure. His versatile service includes roles such as Field Training Officer, sniper on the Special Response Team, and member of the Crash Reconstruction Team.

Deputy Tollefson has devoted his life to service. Prior to his law enforcement career, Deputy Tollefson devoted six years to the 82nd Airborne Division of the U.S. Army as a Paratrooper and subsequently served two years in the 4th Infantry Division, achieving the rank of Staff Sergeant and earning multiple awards for his service. He continued his military service in the Wisconsin National Guard, deploying to Iraq from 2004 to 2005, and ultimately retiring in 2011 with the rank of Chief Warrant Officer.

We extend our sincere appreciation for Deputy Tollefson's dedicated service and wish him a long, happy, and healthy retirement!
