Summary
Calumet County’s Public Safety Committee received updates Feb. 4 from law-enforcement leaders on upcoming retirements and staffing needs, a November 2025 patrol summary and an Average Daily Population (ADP) report for January 2026. The committee set its next meeting for March 4, 2026 and adjourned at 9:06 AM.
Chief Deputy Derek Bries told the Calumet County Public Safety Committee on Feb. 4, 2026 that the Sheriff’s Office is managing a wave of personnel changes and active recruitment. "Hiring Update: Chief Deputy Bries provided an update on upcoming retirements, new hires, promotions, and positions to be filled for corrections, patrol, and dispatch staff," the minutes state. Bries spoke during the department report about openings in corrections, patrol and dispatch but the record does not list headcount or hire dates.

The minutes note the patrol report covered "arrest statistics and the overall incident summary for November 2025," but no numeric totals or trends were included in the record. The committee set its next meeting for March 4, 2026; Chairperson Pete Stier adjourned the session at 9:06 AM.
