(KNZA)--A longtime member of Brown County law enforcement has retired, with the Brown County Sheriff's Office, at the end of last month, recognizing Randy Linck's more than 40-years of service.

According to a release from Brown County Sheriff John Merchant, Linck holds "the distinct honor of being the longest serving law enforcement officer in county history, as well as one of the longest employees of Brown County."

Linck, the release notes, began his law enforcement career as a Reserve Deputy and has held the ranks of Deputy, Investigator and Undersheriff throughout the years, as well as serving on the Brown County Rescue Squad as an EMT-I, implemented and maintained the Offender Registry since its inception in 1993, served as Emergency Preparedness Coordinator, and was devoted to his work with CINC cases -always, the release says, "making the safety and protection of children a priority."

Merchant says Linck, during his December 29 recognition, was presented with a Henry .22 rifle with a customized serial number reflecting his service years, as well as a leather jacket and other tokens of appreciation given by the Sheriff's Office, co-workers, family and friends.

Merchant, in the release, says his Office wishes Linck "a long and healthy retirement," while thanking him "for all of the sacrifices he has made throughout the years."
