A news release Monday night said Mahoney will retire in May. He was elected to the position in 2006 and has been an officer for 41 years, with 40 of those years being with the Dane County Sheriff’s Office.
“My 41-years in law enforcement, the past 14 as Dane County Sheriff, have been a true labor of love for my community and the citizens we serve,” Mahoney said in a statement. “I strive every day to make someone’s life better and to earn the trust of the communities we serve. There have been days of extreme heartbreak and days filled with great rewards. I just hope I’ve made a difference.”
