Brewer grew up in Morristown, Minnesota, and attended Riverland Community College Austin Campus, where he received a diploma in corrections. He worked for the Ely and Arlington police departments before coming to Rock County. Haas is from Hastings, Minnesota, and graduated from Inver Hills Community College. He worked as a non-licensed police officer in Northfield for almost five years. Both deputies started field training with the sheriff’s office in February, finishing last month, and both are currently on patrol.
