Edgerton Police Department recently saw a change in leadership last Monday. With 25 years of experience in law enforcement at the Montpelier Police Department and the Williams County Sheriff’s Office, newly hired Chief Kenneth Jacob is ready to serve and protect Edgerton residents.
Chief Jacob says that he has “always wanted to be a police officer,” reminiscing over childhood Halloween costumes and police shows.
Chief Jacob is excited to join such a “great department with great officers,” and is happy to help continue to utilize their effective K-9 Unit, bike patrol program, partnerships with the community and schools, and the cool new police golf cart.
If anyone would like to see about joining the Edgerton Police Department, Chief Jacob shared that they “are currently looking to fill a full-time police position and have numerous part-time positions available.”
Chief Jacob shared that “the Edgerton community and village employees have been great in welcoming me to the village and assisting in helping adjust to my new position,” and that “Edgerton has great schools and sports programs, and I look forward to attending their events.”
