St. Croix County Sheriff Scott Knudson during the press conference called Leising a "wonderful deputy" and said her death stunned the sheriff's office, community and entire law enforcement profession.
"Kaitie's been with us for only a year, but the impact she made not only on our office, but on this community, and it was always how she did her job was treating people well. That's how she showed up at calls. She treated people with dignity and respect. She made my job easy," Knudson said.
Knudson said members of the sheriff's office need time to grieve, and that no one should be suffering in silence. Many outside agencies are stepping in to cover shifts and patrols for St. Croix deputies.
