July 2016 Salute to Law Enforcement: Investigator Kathy Nguyen

Investigator Kathy Nguyen is a 20 year veteran of the Becker County Sheriff’s Office. She started her career as a Corrections Officer at the Becker County Jail in 1996. After nearly 3 years working in the jail, in 1999, Nguyen was hired as a Deputy Sheriff. Along with being a Patrol Deputy, she served as the department’s Crime Prevention Officer and Use of Force Instructor. In 2004, Nguyen was promoted to Investigator and has worked many high profile cases over the years. Investigator Nguyen has a passion for working with children and Senior Citizens and has recently become involved with the county’s TRIAD program (partnership of Law Enforcement, Senior Citizens, and community groups) as a coordinator. She continues to be involved with Crime Prevention projects including being active with the Sheriff’s Office information booth each year at the Becker County Fair. As described by a Sergeant, “She has an "I can" and "I will" attitude. Kathy handles each call with professionalism and dignity no matter how small or big the call is.” Investigator Nguyen is dedicated to serving the citizens of Becker County and we are happy to show our appreciation for her hard work.
