LOCAL HERO | ANDREW FROBIG 30 | THE GOOD LIFE
HUMBLE HERO: CAPTAIN ANDREW FROBIG WRITTEN BY: HILLARY W. SORENSON PHOTOS BY: URBAN TOAD MEDIA Captain Andrew Frobig, Jail Administrator with Cass County Jail, had no plans of entering law enforcement. A career that started with a humble beginning and the hope for steady pay became one of lifelong service to his community and leadership within the Cass County Sheriff’s Office. For those within and close to the police community, the phrase The Thin Blue Line is one of sentimental effusion that bonds those who protect the innocent and go to war against lawlessness. Captain Frobig and the correctional officers he oversees are a part of this band of brothers and sisters, but too often, the critical nature of their profession is overlooked. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan said, “Historically, correctional officers have been viewed as “guards,” occupying isolated and misunderstood positions in prisons and jails. In recent years, the duties of these officers have become increasingly complex and demanding. They are called upon to fill, simultaneously, custodial, supervisory, and counseling roles. The professionalism, dedication, and courage exhibited by these officers throughout the performance of these demanding and often conflicting roles deserve our utmost respect.” In 2024, four decades post President Reagan’s discourse, his words hold more weight (now more than ever) as the world battles mental health and addiction problems in a way it never has before. The fearless souls who protect us in the dark within the concrete walls of the Cass County Jail are known as correctional officers, and their leader is Captain Frobig. urbantoadmedia.com | 31
