This week is National Police Week 2026. 💙

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation designating May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which it falls as National Police Week.

During this week, we take time to honor and remember the courageous law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty, dedicating their lives to the safety and protection of others. Their service, bravery, and legacy will never be forgotten.

We also recognize the brave men and women who continue to answer the call to keep our communities safe.

The Butler Bald Eagle...

Over the weekend, while on patrol, Officer Fus was notified of an injured Bald Eagle along the Menomonee River in Lower Frontier Park. With assistance from a local Wisconsin DNR Warden, we successfully and safely helped out the injured bird.
The Eagle was too large for the only cage officers had access to, so with a little help from our partners at the Butler Animal Motel, we obtained a bigger cage that better accommodated our large, feathered friend.
The Butler Bald Eagle was taken to a wildlife shelter to receive the care this national symbol of our freedom deserves! We hope they will be soaring again very soon! 🦅🇺🇸

It's National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week! This week is dedicated to honoring those who work in the emergency communications profession. The job is not easy. It's not flashy. But it is essential. It requires calm in the chaos for the caller on the other end of the line and for our officers on the street.

To our dispatchers: You are the heart of public safety in Waukesha County. You are the steady voice on the other end of the phone line when people are having their worst days, the silent guardians who no one sees, and an essential part of our team. 24/7/365!

We greatly appreciate the professionalism, dedicated service, unwavering commitment, and sacrifice all of our dispatchers at Waukesha County Communications make every day to keep our officers and residents safe! To all of our telecommunicators, the Village of Butler Police Department says, "Thank you!"

Officer: "How fast do you think you were going?"
Driver: "Not too fast."

A few weeks ago, one of our officers was conducting speed enforcement on W. Silver Spring Dr. during the morning rush hour. He observed two vehicles racing eastbound, and the "winner" was caught on radar traveling 109 MPH. The posted speed limit is 45 MPH.

Fortunately, there were no crashes caused by this driver's reckless behavior. At the end of the stop, the driver apologized to the officer, and $439 later, he was on his way.

We conduct speed enforcement to keep motorists safe and ultimately seek voluntary compliance with traffic laws. Although this example is extreme, it is not uncommon for officers to observe and stop drivers for excessive speeding. We will remain visible and continue to enforce our speed limits to keep people safe on Butler's roads.
