Summary

"Dan Hintz served in law enforcement from December 1967 to January 1987 as a deputy, chief of police, and sheriff of Portage County, Wisconsin. He was president of the Badger State Sheriffs' Association and the Wisconsin Sheriffs' and Deputy Sheriffs' Association, and was also elected northeast area director of mutual aid by the sheriffs and chiefs of police of the state of Wisconsin. Born and raised on a small farm in central Wisconsin, Hintz served two years in the U.S. Army including a stint as a communications specialist in South Korea. After returning home to Wisconsin, he fulfilled his dream of working in law enforcement. As the sheriff of Portage County, Hintz helped direct the removal of one of America's most investigated domestic terrorist organizations"--back cover
