<\/a><\/figure>\nMuch has been said about the problematic actions of Sheriff Wilz.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n I share the community\u2019s concerns about altered police reports, wasteful spending on legal fees to defend bad decisions, and the resulting harm to the community: more than 90 criminal cases dismissed, leaving victims in Waupaca County waiting for the justice they deserve.<\/p>\n But, as the former chief deputy of the Waupaca County Sheriff\u2019s Office, and after serving the citizens of Waupaca County for 41 years with the sheriff\u2019s office, I\u2019m not voting against Sheriff Wilz, I\u2019m voting for Cameron Durrant. I write to tell you why.<\/p>\n I\u2019m voting for Durrant because he is experienced in the wide range of jobs the Sheriff\u2019s Office performs. Durrant has spent his entire 26-year career with the sheriff\u2019s office. He has served as a reserve officer, water patrol officer, jail booking officer, transport officer, patrol officer, special weapons and tactics, alternate team leader, and detective sergeant.<\/p>\n Durrant rose through the ranks of the sheriff\u2019s office, gaining valuable experience and a solid understanding of the broad responsibilities of the Office.<\/p>\n I\u2019m voting for Durrant because he is well educated. After graduating from Waupaca High School, Durrant obtained an associate\u2019s degree in Police Science, a bachelor\u2019s degree in Criminal Justice Management, and a master\u2019s degree in Homeland Security. Durrant completed this education on his own time, and on his own dime.<\/p>\n I\u2019m voting for Durrant because he is a proven teacher and leader. Utilizing his extensive education and experience, Durrant has served as field training officer, emergency vehicle operation and control instructor, tactical response instructor and evidence collection instructor.<\/p>\n Durrant has dedicated his entire career to serving the citizens of Waupaca County. Durrant\u2019s comprehensive law enforcement experience, extensive law enforcement education, and proven ability to pass on his knowledge and experience to others make him the best candidate for the job.<\/p>\n I ask you to join me on Aug. 9 by voting for Cameron Durrant to be the Republican nominee for Waupaca County Sheriff.<\/p>\n Al Kraeger
