News Release - 2016 was a safe year in Barron County but brought tragedy to our adjoining county with the Line of Duty Death of Deputy Glaze. An opportunity arose to upgrade our Emergency Response Team and you will see these upgrades with new equipment and new partnerships. Meth continues to be the number #1 issue and will continue in 2017. Major cases were solved by our department from large meth cases to the recovery of over $100,000 in Barron County resident’s property. The Jail housed inmates from overcrowded counties and dispatch made sure everyone went home safe. Public relations continue to be strong with Active Shooter trainings and Meth Town Hall meetings given all over the county. We look forward to a safe and hopefully reduction in crime 2017.
