Dear Winnebago County Resident:
Thank you for visiting my website.


I cannot believe that it has already been four years since I first threw my hat into the ring! The past few years have been an interesting learning experience. I am happy with the progress our department has made. I was able to realize my "Goals When Elected" within the first couple years. I am proud of what my department has accomplished and accomplishes on a daily basis. I have an excellent staff that is more like a working family.

Our department's goal is to continue to make Winnebago County a safe place to live, work and raise a family. We must, as a department, continue to be resilient and adapt to change as our society changes. The decisions we make today, will help to determine the safety of our community in years to come. With our staff's abilities and their eagerness to serve, we look forward to a wonderful place to live and grow, Winnebago County.

I promise, as your Sheriff, to continue preparing for the future by embracing change and not living in the past.

Thank you

Douglas W. Jenson Sheriff, Winnebago County
