EXPOSING HIDDEN TRUTHS

THE RACINE COUNTY SHERIFF's OFFICE

CAPTAINS WHO CARE ?

The Racine County Sheriff Department is advertising to recruit a new batch of Sheriff deputies on Facebook.

Is there an expected flood of retirements if Captain Cary is elected as Sheriff ?

Inquiring minds wish to know.

The Facebook message says 

prepared, professional, proud.

 The Sheriff's Office likes using the P's.

How about telling it like it really is ?

A pedophile protected profession ?

If you are like Deputy Preston Kite, the Racine Sheriff's department may have a place for you.

Can you say corrupt ?

Are Captains complicit to change hours to protect immoral and illegal activity ?

Is Racine County Corporation counsel now involved in the Sheriff coverup ?

Is Racine County District Attorney Patricia Hanson  knee deep in the coverup ?

                         D.A. Patricia Hanson

Sure looks like Patricia is involved in the coverup.

Patricia has first hand info of Captain Cary texting 18 fellow deputies on June 3rd. for a fundraiser on June 17th., violating Wisconsin Statute 11.1207.

Has D.A. Hanson acted on the illegal, immoral acts of Captain Cary ? I don't think so.

Racine County has corrupt Judges, a corrupt D.A.,  corrupt Sheriff Captains,  several corrupt investigators, a vacationing elected Sheriff.

HOT is fed information from people who still care. People that are in Racine County Government.

 But they can't survive if the voters don't clean up our government thru honest, competent elections.

We have two good candidates running for the elected office of Sheriff.

Perez & Vandervest

Henry Perez faces Captain Cary Madrigal on August 11th. 2026

This contrast defines the daily reality of patrol work.

ATTENTION CCW PERMIT HOLDERS

Your CCW license records are treated as open records in Racine County

Recent events have exposed the Racine County Sheriff's Office routinely releasing CCW license information to nosey citizens in direct violation of Wisconsin state statutes.

Want to know who is packing heat ? 

Just ask Chris Schmaling or John Harahan or any sheriff deputy in Racine county. 

Scofflaw Schmaling

According to information from a lieutenant within the department, it is within department policy to release CCW licensee information to nosey and inquiring minds. This CCW open records policy of the sheriff's office is in blatant disregard of the law. 

CCW statutes are very specific to protect the privacy and identities of law abiding CCW licensee's.

This is serious folks, The sheriff's office has breached the public trust of Racine County citizens who carry by violating the very laws that are put into place to protect law abiding citizens.

If you live in Ashland or Appleton and want to know who's packing? Call the Racine County Sheriff Office where CCW records are handled as public records.

Your information is not safe and secure due to the scofflaw's Sheriff Schmaling and Deputy Sheriff Hanrahan's interpretation of the law.

A complaint has been directly filed into the Racine County District Attorney's office (Patricia Hanson) and with Racine County Corporation Counsel  (Michael Lanzdorf) seeking an immediate stop to this CCW open records policy of the sheriff department.

CCW law does not provide any relief to the aggrieved, so
the complaint further request the county to censure Schmaling and Hanrahan for their misconduct of office.

 Schmaling doesn't believe he has to comply with the law !

Teach him otherwise!
