Andrew Zinke for Sheriff, Neighbor

My diverse law enforcement background and development has provided me with unique experiences and built professional relationships that are critical to success. Great friendships, sharing information, and a commitment to my family and education are my keys to success. I believe in encouraging supervisors to push themselves and creating opportunities for future leaders to succeed.

Born in Chicago and raised in McHenry, I am married to my beautiful and supportive wife, Kimberly, and blessed with three incredible children; Alec, Austin, and Avery. I grew up in the City of McHenry, and attended area schools. My experience includes an internship with the Richmond Police Department, where I also served as a community service officer. I worked briefly as a dispatcher for the Algonquin Police Department, until I was hired as a police officer by the Genoa City Police Department, Wisconsin. At 21, I was hired by the Hebron Police Department full-time. I proudly served the village of Hebron for approximately one year. During this time, I was hired by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office to work the marine unit, part-time. I was hired as a deputy sheriff full-time in 1990. It has been my honor to work for the McHenry County Sheriff’s office and serve the citizens of McHenry County since 1989.
