KENDALL COUNTY, IL — The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office announces Patrol Deputy Jacquelyn Mielke as Employee of the Second Quarter. A supervisor of the Patrol Division nominated her for her exemplary performance.

Deputy Mielke has been a Patrol Deputy with the Sheriff’s Office since March of 2019. Since joining the Sheriff’s Office, Deputy Mielke has provided exemplary service to the Sheriff’s Office and to our community.
