Former Minnesota corrections officer Ron Jansen intends to use his recent appointment to the Independent Living Council of Wisconsin to promote reassignment of those in public safety who are injured in the line of duty.
Forced to medically retire from the Minnesota Department of Corrections after 28 years of service because of a leg injury, Jansen, who now lives in North Hudson, Wis., believes he and others like him possess knowledge and skills that would still make them valuable assets to others in their field.
