St. Louis County welcomes new deputies and corrections officers

DULUTH, Minn. — The St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office swore in new sheriff’s deputies and correctional officers.

Nine deputies and seven corrections officers were sworn in by Sheriff Gordon Ramsay and pinned by friends and family. The event also recognized new civilian staff hires, promotions, and the swearing-in of the department’s newest K-9, Ollie. Among the new deputies is retired Duluth Police Lieutenant Bradley Wick, who brings more than 30 years of law enforcement experience. He chose to come out of retirement and serve alongside his nephew.

“It’s exciting to see new faces bring new people on,” said Sheriff Gordon Ramsay, St. Louis County. “I don’t think there’s a greater calling, right, whether it’s, you know, 911, or law enforcement, or in corrections, being able to serve your community and keep your family and friends and neighbors safe.”

The department says the newest members are ready to begin the next chapter of service.
