Larson has also spent 10 years as a search and rescue volunteer, as well as having served as a medical examiner investigator, field training officer, and several other instructor positions.

“Captain Larson brings extensive knowledge of all department operations,” said Sheriff Zyburt, “and I am confident he will continue to provide remarkable service to the citizens of Marquette County in his new role.”
