O’Brien County, Iowa The New Year brings with it many changes each year, but for O’Brien County’s Top Cop, it’ll bring a new chapter in his life.
O’Brien County Sheriff Allen Schuknecht will be retiring at the end of this month, capping off a forty-six-year law enforcement career, forty-four of which have been spent with the O’Brien County Sheriff’s Office. Schuknecht talked with KIWA and told us about his long law enforcement career.
(As above) “I went to Western Iowa Tech, to the Police Science class, they had that down there, right out of high school. Then I came and worked for the Sanborn Police Department for two years and then was hired at the O’Brien County Sheriff’s Office. I was a deputy for forty years and I’ve been Sheriff now for four.”
