On the recordFebruary 14, 2018
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the legacy of Wright County Sheriff Joe Hagerty. Joe retires after 33 honorable years of service to the third largest sheriff's office in the State of Minnesota. He has a reputation for honesty and has become someone that we all trust. Our community has been honored to have a public servant with Joe's level of integrity and accountability. His respect for the rule of law and compassion for his fellow citizens made him an exceptional sheriff. During his time in office, Joe fostered a relationship with neighboring counties to share a crime lab, which helped solve cases and bring justice. Every single day, Joe put the safety of Minnesotans above all else. Sheriff Hagerty, I speak on behalf of all Minnesotans when I say: Thank you. We wish you a happy and healthy and well-deserved retirement. Recognizing Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson
