After an almost 43-year law enforcement career, I have made the very difficult decision to retire, effective June 30, 2024.  Simply put, a number of physical challenges are interfering with my ability to serve as Sheriff.  It’s time to step aside.

It’s been an honor and a privilege to serve the people of Green County since 1981.   I’ve raised my two sons here and been a part of the community for basically my entire adult life.  It has given back to me way more than I have been able to give it.  I’ll be forever grateful for the partnerships and friendships that we’ve cultivated over the years and know that those friendships will continue.

Knowing that I was in the final years of my career, we’ve been purposeful in hiring and promoting great people who are much smarter than I have ever been.   The Green County Sheriff’s Office is in great hands and is well prepared to meet the demands of the present and in the future. 

I thank everyone for their support over the years.

Forever grateful,

Jeff Skatrud, Green County Sheriff
