Dane County Sheriff David Mahoney to retire from law enforcement
Dane County Sheriff Dave Mahoney has announced his intention to retire from law enforcement this coming spring.
Mahoney will be vacating his seat on May 8th, by which point he will have served in the sheriff’s office for four decades. He’s been the department’s leader since 2006.
“You know, I remember fondly standing on the steps of Middleton city hall fifteen years ago, when I announced my intent to run for sheriff,” Mahoney told reporters today. “To leave an organization of outstanding, committed men and women of character and values that’s what makes this decision the hardest.”
