BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. WIED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an exceptional man who recently celebrated 30 years of dedicated service to Waupaca County and the citizens of northeast Wisconsin.

Last week, Waupaca County Sheriff Timothy Wilz reached a milestone of three decades of service in law enforcement. From his time as a jailer and dispatcher to his current role as sheriff, Timothy Wilz's dedication to public service is an inspiration to us all.

It is especially fitting that his 30-year anniversary fell during National Police Week, a time when we honor the hard work of our law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe.

Throughout his impressive career, Sheriff Wilz has served in multiple roles that have been essential to maintaining the safety of Waupaca County residents.

Sheriff Wilz began his career in law enforcement with the Manawa Police Department in 1991 and became a corrections officer in 1995 with the Waupaca County Sheriff's Office. Given his leadership, he was promoted to patrol sergeant in 2007, where he also served as a training coordinator.

In 2018, he was elected to serve as the sheriff of Waupaca County due to his wide-ranging skill set, ample knowledge, and unwavering service to the people of Waupaca County.

I had the privilege of getting to know Sheriff Wilz personally over the last year, and I know that he is a man of integrity who is committed to upholding the rule of law and protecting the people of Waupaca County.

On behalf of the people of Waupaca County and Wisconsin's Eighth Congressional District, I thank Sheriff Wilz for his decades of honorable service.
