Cory Roeseler, Sheboygan County Sheriff since 2018, has announced his retirement from that position. Roeseler submitted his resignation to the office of Governor Evers with the intent to retire on June 3rd of this year.
Sheriff Roeseler entered his career with the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Office as a deputy on January 8, 1991, and was subsequently promoted to Corporal, Detective, Lieutenant of Criminal Investigations and Captain of Patrol/Criminal Investigations over that 27-year span. After his 2018 appointment as Sheriff, Roeseler was elected for terms in 2019 and 2023.
A long-time Kiel resident, Roeseler was a Kiel High School graduate, and received his Associate Degree in Police Science from Moraine Park Technical College.
Reflecting upon his career in his announcement, Roeseler said that “I am so grateful for all of the opportunities that I had. I couldn’t have asked for any more from my career. I will always be grateful for the career I had.”
Roeseler would have completed his current term in 2026, but his retirement now opens the position to be filled through appointment by the Governor.
(Editors Note – The original story mistakenly indicated that a replacement would be made by the Sheboygan County Board. This step belongs to the Governor.)
