With the Duck Creek Quarry opening this Friday (May 21st, 2021), we wanted to provide the most up-to-date information for all residents. There have been some changes regarding park hours and procedures for obtaining a wristband (see below).

- Duck Creek Quarry Beach is open only to Howard residents and their guests with a wristband. The remainder of the park is open to the public for catch-and-release fishing, non-motorized boating, paddle boarding, dog swimming, and walking.

- Swimming is only allowed from the beach area. Swimming is prohibited at the fishing dock or any other area of the quarry. Use of any type of floaty is considered swimming, so those are only allowed on the beach.

- Everyone over the age of 5 must have a wristband to enter the beach. Howard residents can order wristbands online (please go to www.villageofhoward.com). Wristbands will be given for each member of the immediate household over the age of 5 and up to two guests. Residency will be verified before wristbands are mailed. Due to the time needed to process and ship the bands, please allow up to two weeks for delivery.

- Wristbands will not be available at Village Hall or at the beach.

- Swimming is at your own risk. The water depth is greater than 170 feet in some areas, and there is no lifeguard on duty. Life jackets are recommended.

- Users must abide by the posted rules. These include no smoking or va**ng, no alcohol, no glass bottles or containers, etc. Failure to do so may result in the loss of beach privileges.

** Hours **
Duck Creek Quarry Park is open to the general public during normal park hours (sunrise to sunset), except for the Duck Creek Quarry Beach.

The beach is open only to Howard residents and their guests who have wristbands during limited hours from the end of May through Labor Day. For the 2021 season, the Duck Creek Quarry beach will be open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day from May 21 to Sept. 6.

Today is a very bitter-sweet day for everyone at the Howard Police Department. Officer Jim Dagneau, or “Daggs” as many in the community know him, is retiring after 32 years.

Officer Dagneau started in Law Enforcement in 1988, with the last 29 years at the Brown County Sheriff’s Office. Throughout his career, he has been a member of the Brown County Drug Task Force (DTF) and swat team, although most know him for the 20+ years he has served the citizens of Howard as Brown County’s first Directed Enforcement Officer (DEO). The job of the DEO is to work closely with the citizens of the village to solve long-term problems and also act as a liaison between the village and the Sheriff’s Office.

Officer Dagneau, as the first DEO in Brown County, has been instrumental in shaping the program to best serve all citizens. With the help and guidance of Officer Dagneau, there are currently eleven DEO’s throughout Brown County serving the communities of Howard, Suamico, Allouez, Bellevue and Denmark.

With all of his accomplishments, what most think of with they think of “Daggs” is his commitment to serving the community in many different non-traditional ways. Whenever there was a birthday party or a school raffle for lunch with a cop, Daggs was the first one people would contact. Daggs was a fixture at community related events like National Night Out, Coffee with a Cop and Shop with a Cop. If there was a community event in Howard, you didn’t have to look far to find Daggs. Daggs will tell anyone who asks that they broke the mold when they made him, never to brag, but to explain his outgoing personality. If you ever saw Daggs, he always had a smile on his face. No one ever questioned Daggs commitment to the community.

Officer Dagneau has spent the last few years training the current Howard DEO’s to make sure that the citizens of Howard won’t notice any difference in the services they receive, although his presence is irreplaceable.

Thank you Jim for your service to the citizens of Brown County and the Village of Howard. Your work throughout the community has helped build bridges between the community and law enforcement which will last for many years to come.

We hope you enjoy your retirement Jim!

Here is some very helpful information regarding scams from Wisconsin Public Service.

The goal of these phone scams is to either get you either excited (you won the lottery, etc) or scared (you or someone else is going to jail) and keep you from thinking rationally. Always remember, never give ANY personal information and ALWAYS take a moment to think about what you are hearing. If you have questions, ask a family member, ask a friend, ask a neighbor, or anyone you trust.

We’re partnering with law enforcement agencies 👮‍♂️ to shut down the scammers. Stay alert and help others by sharing these warning signs.

WPS will NEVER:

🚨 Demand payment by prepaid debit card
🚨 Threaten or try to scare you
🚨 Disconnect you on short notice

When in doubt, hang up. It’s not rude, it’s safe. https://www.wisconsinpublicservice.com/partners/media/scam #StopScams

With schools starting over the next week, there will be numerous school buses picking up kids in the morning and dropping off in the afternoon. This will be quite an adjustment for many as schools have been closed since March.

A reminder that flashing yellow lights on the top of the bus are a warning that the red lights will be on shortly and stop sign will be out. These were put in place so you can prepare to stop. They don't mean speed up to get past (like so many do at traffic lights).

The red lights and stop sign mean just that - STOP!

Bus companies forward violators information to us and you could be issued a $325 citation. More importantly someone could be seriously injured by failing to obey the lights and sign.

If you are unsure of when / if you have to stop, hopefully the attached image will help clarify.

Help us to keep all members of our community safe!

With the Coronavirus, a lot of plans have had to change very quickly, which can lead to a lot of disappointment.

Today, we received a message about a 4 year old boy named Grayson, who's birthday had to be cancelled. Grayson's dad said Grayson loves police officers and was wondering if someone could stop over today. Officers VanDeHei, Walters Dagneau and Sanford stopped by & were able to wish Grayson happy birthday. Officer Dagneau also attempted a virtual hug (which I think worked out).

Happy birthday from the Howard Police Department!
