Dane County Sheriff swears in 12 new deputies

Sheriff Barrett, who worked for years as an officer before becoming Sheriff, told the new deputies the job entails more than just law enforcement.

"I was a social worker, I was a marriage counselor, I was animal control, I was a mental health worker, I was a paramedic, I was a weather watcher," Barrett said. "We were trained to watch and look for funnels, we did everything. And so when we refer to ourselves as law enforcement officers, I think that limits what we really do."
