County Sheriff's jurisdiction

ATVs on roads in West Salem

Security, community outreach

Siegel's take on "cop TV"

Siegel's role on Minnesota killer manhunt

Crisis workers with law enforcement

New deputies, new roles

La Crosse County Sheriff, John Siegel, in the WIZM studio for La Crosse Talk discussing his office’s role in the manhunt for the Minnesota killer, which included welfare checks on at least one area state Legislator.

Siegel talked about how he got a phone call while at a wedding, and then things got real, as he learned someone had shot and killed a Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband, shot and wounded another couple and had a hit list that included prominent Wisconsin figures. 

Other things we discussed included was their getting two new deputies and giving them new roles, plus how crisis workers getting paired with law enforcement might benefit the Sheriff's Office.

We also talked quick about ATVs being legal to drive on West Salem roads, some security and outreach they’re doing.

A bit of a sidebar we hit on was Siegel’s assessment of, basically, cop TV. Let’s just say he’s not a big fan — though he does watch Reacher.
