Jail Division Spotlight - David Gorst Corporal David Gorst has worked for the Dodge County Sheriff’s Officer for nearly 27 years, in the jail division. Corporal Gorst graduated from UW-Oshkosh with a criminal justice degree and started working in the state prison system. Corporal Gorst applied for the jail because he had lived in Dodge County for most of his life. Corporal Gorst is one of the few left who was hired to work in the original jail, back when you had to carry five pounds of keys to open cells, fingerprints were done with ink, and a booking photo was taken with a Polaroid camera with a placard under your chin. A lot has changed in that time. The Dodge County Jail had about 80 inmates between the jail and the Huber facility. Now we have over 300+ inmates/detainees, housing county, federal, and ICE detainees. During Corporal Gorst’s employment in the jail, he has been a training officer, classification officer, transport officer, intake specialist, and a Pod J coordinator. Corporal Gorst states “When I’m not at work I enjoy the outdoors, hunting, fishing, hiking, and pickleball (I’m old). I’m currently working on section hiking the Ice Age Trail. I’ve completed almost 600 miles of the 1200-mile trail.” “The job is certainly interesting and can be very exciting, but I most enjoy the relationships I’ve formed with my co-workers. The shared experiences really create a bond that is hard to describe.”

Congratulations Nathan Hoeppner!! Nathan Hoeppner is currently a corrections officer at the Dodge County Jail. He has been attending the Law Enforcement Academy at Waukesha College Law Enforcement Academy and graduated this weekend!
