Taylor County Sheriff's Office

The Taylor County Sheriff’s Office is in the process of purchasing a new k-9 . We hope to have Deputy Brett Paul and his new k-9 partner on patrol together later this fall.
SSMC is a local motorcycle club who reached out asking to help bring in some much needed funds to support our k-9 program . They decided a brat fry would be a great way to donate to our program.
Thank you for your support!

UPDATE:
SUBJECT AS BEEN ARRESTED .

The Taylor County Sheriff’s Office is currently investigating several vehicle thefts and break in to garage near the Business Hwy 13 Westboro area.

Suspect is described as a teenage white male and may be on foot in the Westboro area. Possibly armed with a stolen 22 pistol.

The Taylor County Sheriff's Office would like to recognize Deputy Logan Swiantek for over 16 years of service for Taylor County.

On February 7, 2024, the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office received a theft complaint regarding three missing Black Angus steers from a fenced private property near Franz Dr. in the Township of Rib Lake. The property owner reported that he last saw the cattle on February 3, 2024, and based upon the circumstances it is believed that someone had intentionally taken the cattle from the property without the owners permission. The missing cattle are described as all black Angus yearling steers weighing around 600 – 800 lbs. The steers had white ear tags with the numbers “19” “B23” and “42.” If you have any information related to this incident please contact the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office at (715)748-2200 ext 5

After 25 years of service with the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office dispatcher/ corrections officer Kevin Mayer is retiring.
Seen seated in this picture with some of his coworkers Kevin puts in his last day of work with us today.
Please join my in wishing Kevin a happy retirement. We thank you for your service.

We have received reports of an individual calling and identifying himself as a law enforcement officer with Taylor County Sheriff’s Office.

This individual will inform you that there is a warrant out for your arrest and then proceed to tell you to go to Walgreens / Walmart or some other store to get money to send in to pay or youll be arrested.

Please never believe this! They mix it up but variants of this type of scam have been around a long time.

No law enforcement agency will ever call you and tell you to send money like that. If a law enforcement agency does call they will be very informative and give you real life physical addresses that you can verify.

When in doubt if you receive a call like this get a return phone number and say you’ll call back. If it’s a scammer they won’t likely want to give you a number.

Also at anytime call your local law enforcement agency. They’ll tell you if you’re actually in any trouble. Don’t rely on a random unknown caller you can’t identify .
Contact the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office with any questions or concerns.

Thank you for the feedback on the RN pay rate. Taylor County supports pay transparency and will always share the minimum starting wage as defined by our compensation plan.

Feel free to reach out to Taylor County Human Resources with any questions.

UPDATE: Subjects have been identified. No further assistance necessary. Thank you for the calls.

DNR Warden Kurt Haas is requesting assistance in identifying the individuals in this photo. Please contact Warden Haas at (715)360-9018 with any information.
