Sheriff Daniel Trawicki named Lieutenant Torin Misko as the next Director of Police Services for the Village of Sussex. Lieutenant Misko replaces Captain James Gumm, who was recently promoted to Captain and had served as Sussex’s Director of Police Services for four years.
“First and foremost, I would like to thank Captain Gumm for his dedicated service to the Village of Sussex through our Sheriff’s contract. He did an outstanding job working with a variety of issues and communities. While Captain Gumm’s presence will be missed in Sussex, his replacement Lieutenant Torin Misko will bring these same qualifications to this unique position. Lieutenant Misko has demonstrated a unique ability to problem solve through good communication,” said Sheriff Daniel Trawicki.
Village Administrator Jeremy Smith stated, “Lieutenant Misko brings a lot of relevant experience to the position. We look forward to working with him and the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department to continue providing excellent police service in Sussex.”
Lieutenant Misko has been with the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department since 2004 and has worked as a Corrections Officer, Detective and Deputy Sheriff. He has worked in the Firearms Training Unit, the Tactical Enforcement Unit, in the Waukesha County Metro Drug Unit, and as a Field Training Officer. He was also previously assigned to the Village of Sussex contract unit and is familiar with the community. Lieutenant Misko has a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice.
 Sheriff Daniel Trawicki said, “Both Lieutenant Misko and I are committed to maintaining that small town atmosphere we all love in Sussex, while continuing to bring outstanding professional police services to that community.”
