Crime Prevention

Business Security Checks
The Police Department spends some 1100 hours each year checking the security of closed businesses and the business community's sense of safety is well worth it.  Though they rarely enjoy middle of the night calls when doors or windows are found open, they realize and appreciate our vigilance.  Through this function we maintain on-going relations with them, as we do through the process of updating and maintaining our "keyholder" list.

Business owners should notify the police department at (414) 481-2232 to update their emergency contact information.

Residential Security Checks
If you plan to leave your home and property for an extended period of time, such as a vacation, the police department will add your property to our watch list.  Officers will make periodic checks of your property, note any discrepancies and notify you or your designated key holder of any problems or concerns.  Request a house check by calling the Police Department at (414) 481-2232.
