Sheriff deputy vacancy may not be filled for months; candidate must complete six-month mini academy
Summary
Administrator Curt Erickson said interviews were completed but the candidate selected will not likely be scheduled until January 2027 because a six-month mini academy, offered only twice per year, must be completed first.
Village Administrator Curt Erickson reported that interviews for a Dane County sheriff deputy candidate were conducted on Monday with three applicants. Erickson warned the board that, even after selection, the candidate likely will not appear on the patrol schedule until January 2027 because the candidate must complete a six-month mini academy that is offered only twice per year.
The delay means Mazomanie and neighboring Black Earth may have limited new deputy coverage until the candidate completes training and is scheduled; the board received the update as informational with no immediate policy action.
