THE STEUBEN COUNTY SHERIFF DEPARTMENT

A DREAM COME TRUE

Kevin S. Kane Chief Deputy

From a very early age Kevin talked about being a police officer.  In the theatre of my mind I can still see him standing on the floor board of my 1964 Plymouth when he was too short to see over the dash talking about being a police officer when he grew up.

A communications job came open at the Steuben Sheriff Department . Kevin applied for the job and was hired 022884.

He was appointed to a deputies slot on 050185 soon became a graduate of the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy.  Sheriff Mike McClelland appointed him Chief Deputy on 071093.  He served in that capacity for a little over 6 years.

After McClelland finished his second term Kevin went back on the road until the current Sheriff Rick Lewis took office at which time Kevin was again appointed Chief Deputy.  Not many can say they served as Chief Deputy for over 14 years during a career.
