Beyond The Badge

Before becoming an Iron County Sheriff's Deputy, Devin Lauritzen was a well known and accomplished paramedic.  Sheriff Mark Gower says this gives him a lot of confidence in his deputy.  Often deputies have to deal with medical challenges until paramedics can get on the scene.  Deputy Lauritzen is able to do a lot of good in those first few minutes responding to medical emergencies. Deputy Lauritzen's abilities really make a difference in Iron County, a large rural county where deputies are usually on the scene well before medical personnel.  Sheriff Gower also says that the paramedics often look to Deputy Lauritzen for instruction as he is usually the highest ranking medical professional on the scene. On his days off, Deputy Lauritzen also works for Life Flight. Deputy Devin Lauritzen is also a member of the S.W.A.T, Search and Rescue, and Ropes Rescue teams.   See our website for privacy information.
