🚓🚒🚑 On National First Responders Day, I want to express my deepest gratitude to the dedicated men and women who serve on the front lines across Winnebago County.

It is an honor to work alongside individuals who demonstrate such unwavering bravery, professionalism, and commitment to protecting our communities.

An effective Sheriff’s Office relies on deep collaboration, a dedicated team, and trusted relationships with our local partners.
I am truly grateful for the endorsements of former Rockford Police Chief Dan O’Shea and current Winnebago County Coroner Jennifer Muraski. During his tenure as Chief, Dan O'Shea experienced firsthand how closely our offices collaborated to keep Rockford safe. Today, Coroner Muraski and her team work hand-in-hand with our staff every single day.
By maintaining strong alliances with neighboring law enforcement and county agencies, we are better equipped to prevent and solve crimes.
Please be sure to make your voice heard and vote on Tuesday, November 3rd!
Public safety is not a political issue—it is a community issue. I am incredibly honored to have the support of fellow law enforcement leaders from across our region: Stephenson County Sheriff Steve Stovall, DeKalb County Sheriff Andy Sullivan, Whiteside County Sheriff John F. Booker, and McHenry County Sheriff Robb Tadelman.
As Sheriff Booker shares in this video, political parties do not matter when it comes to keeping our citizens safe.
Building strong, collaborative relationships across county lines allows us to work hand-in-hand to protect our communities.
Together, we are making our region a safer place to live, work, and raise a family.
I look forward to continuing this partnership and continuing the work. I hope I've earned your vote on November 3rd.
The 19th Annual Dancing with the Rockford Stars is coming up November 21, bringing our community together in support of Family Counseling Services.
This annual event helps make mental health counseling accessible to individuals and families throughout our community, regardless of their ability to pay.
Best wishes to this year's dancers, organizers, and everyone helping make this event a success!
When Sheriff Gary Caruana took office, he didn't just talk about public safety—he took immediate action by introducing saturation patrols to clear our streets and protect our neighborhoods.
True law enforcement isn't just about reacting to crime after it happens; it’s about stopping it before it starts.

We are honored to share this powerful endorsement from Retired 17th Judicial Circuit Court Chief Judge Joe McGraw for Sheriff Gary Caruana!
Having spent nearly 22 years on the bench in Boone and Winnebago County, Judge McGraw has seen firsthand what effective, uncompromised law enforcement looks like. He commends Sheriff Caruana for standing up for the U.S. Constitution, maintaining fiscal responsibility, and bringing valuable trade skills and literacy programs to the jail.
Let's keep a proven leader in office. Support Sheriff Caruana!
