The Lac Courte Oreilles (LCO) Tribal Police Department is proud to announce the hiring of four new officers who will join the department following successful completion of police academy training. The new recruits—Austin Egge, Kyle Ray-Tannehill, Jacob Tritz, and Dyllan Williams—represent the next generation of dedicated law enforcement officers committed to serving the LCO community.

Officers Egge, Ray-Tannehill, and Tritz are scheduled to begin the 18-week Police Academy this summer, while Officer Williams will begin his training in 2026. Upon graduation, they will officially assume their duties within the LCO Police Department.

Chief of Police Susie Taylor emphasized the importance of this expansion stating, “The addition of these officers is critical to our department’s self-sufficiency as we become less reliant on outside agencies. It ensures quicker response times, improved public safety, and stronger community engagement through proactive policing.”

The LCO Tribal Police Department remains committed to building a safe, secure, and respectful environment for all residents. The recruitment and training of new officers are a continued step toward strengthening public safety and fostering trust within the community.
