Leadership Team

The Dodge County Sheriff's Office is led by Sheriff Dale J. Schmidt, who serves as the primary executive officer responsible for ensuring public safety and law enforcement across the county. Supporting him in this mission is Chief Deputy Chad Enright, who oversees the day-to-day operations and implements strategic directives.

Operational Leadership

Directly under the Chief Deputy are two pivotal roles essential to the office’s functions:

• Jason Boeck, Operations Captain, oversees operational aspects of patrol, investigations, and other critical law enforcement responsibilities.

• Scott Smith, Jail Captain, manages the county’s detention facilities, ensuring safe and effective jail operations.

Patrol Teams

The patrol division is divided into three distinct teams, each led by an experienced lieutenant:

• Lt. Brian Loos (Team A Patrol) leads patrol operations for his designated team, focusing on proactive community engagement and law enforcement.

• Lt. Joseph Nicholas (Team B Patrol) commands his team’s patrol responsibilities, maintaining a strong presence throughout the county.

• Lt. Dustin Waas & Lt. Ryan Brehmer (Team C Patrol) oversees a third patrol unit, ensuring swift and coordinated responses to incidents.

Specialized Divisions

Several specialized units complement the patrol teams to address specific law enforcement and administrative needs:

• Lt. Taylor Nehls (Criminal Investigations) supervises investigative efforts, focusing on solving crimes and maintaining justice.

• Lt. Jeremy Grossman (Communications/Support) ensures seamless communication and support services, critical for operational efficiency.

• Lt. Dustin Beck, Lt. Jason Hundt, Lt. Kevin Schultz, Lt. Aaron Potratz, and Lt. Benjamin Schepp (Jail Lieutenants) work under the Jail Captain to oversee jail operations, staff coordination, and detainee management.
