BREAKING NEWS

Local police responded to reports of an unlicensed beverage operation in the neighborhood today.

Upon arrival, officers discovered suspects, ages 5-10, selling lemonade without a business degree, tax attorney, or corporate board approval.

After a brief investigation, the officers purchased two cups, left a generous tip, and declared the lemonade “too good to shut down.”

No arrests were made, although one suspect was seen attempting to evade questioning on a scooter.

The lemonade cartel remains at large

During National Police Week, we pause to honor the brave men and women in law enforcement who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities. We also recognize the dedication of the officers who continue to serve each day with courage, integrity, and compassion.

Policing is more than a profession it is a commitment to protecting others, often during difficult and challenging moments. This week, we especially remember the families of fallen officers and thank them for their strength and sacrifice.

To our community: thank you for your continued support, partnership, and trust. Strong communities are built when citizens and law enforcement work together with respect and understanding.

Please join us this week in remembering those we have lost and supporting those who continue to serve.

Update: Thank you!! The owners have been located and our furry friend is back home!!

This cat was found wandering around Glaciers Edge Sq acting like it pays taxes here. We checked for a microchip, but apparently this furry outlaw either forgot to register or is living off the grid.

If this is your cat — or if you know the human servant it belongs to — please call us at the police department at (608) 798-4100 with identifying details. The suspect is currently safe at the Pet Care Clinic and accepting payment in treats and attention.

Please share so we can reunite this little escape artist with its people!

A little bump in the road turned into a good reminder for all of us…

Our officers recently helped out after a bicycle crash, and we’re happy to report the rider is doing okay—just a few bumps and bruises. To help keep future rides safer, we were glad to pass along a new helmet before they got back on the road.

Moments like this are why we love serving this community—looking out for one another, on and off the road.

Wishing everyone safe and happy rides out there. And if you’ve got a helmet, it’s always a good day to wear it.

Our officers have recovered the following items at Zander Park

One (1) blanket — suspiciously cozy, found minding its own business but clearly up to something.

One (1) ring — small, shiny, and refusing to explain how it ended up where it did. No alibi. Very suspicious.

Both items are currently being held for questioning (the blanket has been wrapped up in the investigation, the ring is keeping things… well… tight-lipped).

If these items belong to you, please contact the department and be prepared to:

✔️ Properly identify them
✔️ Explain how they came to be separated from you

We had a great time connecting with the community at Trout Days in Cross Plains this weekend!

It was wonderful to see so many families and visitors out enjoying the event—from fishing and local vendors to the live music throughout the day. Events like this are a great reminder of how strong and supportive our community is.

Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, vendors, and bands for putting together such a well-run and enjoyable event. We also appreciate everyone who stopped by to say hello—we’re always glad to meet and engage with the people we serve.

We’re already looking forward to next year. Stay safe!!
