| Info | Mrs. Ann Marie Hoehne Hraychuck
Ann Hraychuck has just completed 32 years of public service with the Polk County Sheriff’s Department. She was initially hired by Polk County in 1971 under a federal CETA grant for young adults from low-income families. In 1973, Ann was hired by the Sheriff’s Department as a secretary and was promoted to Jailer/Dispatcher and then to a Sensitive Crimes Investigator in 1984. After 18 years as an Investigator, Ann was elected to her first term as the Sheriff of Polk County in 2001 and re-elected in 2003. She was one of two female sheriffs in the State of Wisconsin.
Throughout her extensive law enforcement career, Ann has always strived to excel in every position that she has held in the Sheriff’s Department. She was instrumental in the implementation of committees and task forces that dealt with such critical issues as child abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault, homicide, drug abuse, teen deaths in traffic crashes, and elder abuse. During the 18 years that Ann was a Sensitive Crimes Investigator, she became a certified instructor for the WI Department of Justice, training police officers throughout WI in the techniques of investigating child abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault, and homicide cases.
Ann is the recipient of a multitude of commendations from local, state, and national law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and child advocacy organizations for her work in the sensitive crimes arena. In 1991, she received a Medal of Valor for rendering aid to a fellow officer who had been shot.
Over the past 32 years, Ann has served on numerous county, state, and national committees. As Sheriff, she was selected by Governor Doyle to serve on the WI Radio Interoperability Homeland Security Council, the WI Sentencing Guidelines Commission, and the Violence Against Women Advisory Board.
In February and March of 2005, Ann testified before Senate and Assembly committees, at the State Capitol, regarding the impact of the methamphetamine epidemic in northwestern Wisconsin.
In March of 2005, Sheriff Ann received national recognition through an appointment by US Senator Russ Feingold to the Federal Nomination Commission, which made recommendations to our US Senators and President Bush for candidates to fill the US Attorney’s position for the Western District of WI.
Also in March of 2005, Sheriff Ann was nominated to the Unity High School Wall of Honor, which recognizes alumni for their life achievements and community contributions.
Ann lives near Balsam Lake with her 16 year old stepson, Davey, and husband, retired Frederic Chief of Police David Hraychuck. Ann, David, and Davey are all avid sportsmen and love to hunt and fish. Ann and David are Hunter Safety Education instructors. They have been involved in numerous volunteer events that promote children and their families, to include youth pheasant hunting events, youth fishing contests, and the annual Youth in the Outdoors Day. They chair the annual Deer Hunt for Hunters with Disabilities through the Polk County Sportsmen’s Club. Ann has just completed a term as the President of the Polk County Sportsmen’s Club, the first female to hold this position in the club’s 75-year history.
After a lifetime of law enforcement, Ann Hraychuck wants to continue serving the public as a State Assembly Representative for the 28th District.
