The Dunn County Sheriff's Office is concerned about keeping the community informed about the operations of the Sheriff's Office. One of the ways we accomplish this is by regularly keeping the news media, and therefore the public, informed of the events involving the Sheriff's Office and its personnel.

Press releases are generated by field supervisors and contain factual information about an event. Press releases are approved by command staff and then distributed to local news media as soon as possible.

On November 6, 2011 at 1:54 PM the Dunn County E-911 Center received a report of a person injured while operating a tractor in the woods. Deputies from the Dunn County Sheriff's Office, members of the Dunn County First Responders, Boyceville Ambulance Service, Boyceville Fire Department, and LifeLink Helicopter Service were dispatched to the scene. The scene was located in the Town of Tiffany.

Deputies learned that the victim was working with a tractor preparing for hunting season when the tractor rolled over. The victim ended up being pinned between the tractor and a tree. While help was responding to the scene, the tractor was moved and CPR was started.

It was determined that the person could not be revived and the Dunn County Medical Examiner's Office was called to the scene. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
