***Winter Storm Warning*** Would you look at that. Kewaunee County is now under a Winter Storm Warning from 6pm Wednesday, December 14 through 9am Thursday, December 15th. 5-7 inches of snow can be expected. Stay alert for changing weather conditions.
The Winter Parking Ban will start being enforced overnight Wednesday, December 14, 2022 (technically 1am on the 15th). You will be safe for one more night, but after that, parking tickets will be issued. It seems as though most people are off the streets already, and we do appreciate it.
There is a storm system on its way starting tonight and lasting until Friday. Things could be messy for a while. Please be safe if you are out on the roads. Thank you.
***NOTICE*** Winter Parking***
The Winter Parking Ban has technically started. We will not be enforcing it immediately. We will be placing these notices on vehicles over the next few nights. Now is the time to figure out where you will be parking your vehicle overnight. We will post here when enforcement begins. Thank you.
***Update. Owner has been found***. This pup was found in the 1100 block of Milwaukee Street. If you know who it belongs to, please call dispatch at 920-388-7108. Thank you!
Some of you may be aware that I have been researching the history of the Kewaunee Police Department. I am approaching the 9-year mark of my research. Today I obtained this awesome 1983 group photo from former Police Chief Dan Kruse. This just goes to show that even after 9-years, I know there is still more information out there. I will ask again, if anyone has any photos from the department, please contact me. We would love to add them to our archives.
On another note, 2023 marks the 150th Anniversary of the Kewaunee Police Department. We are in the process of planning some things to celebrate. We will provide details when we have them. We are excited for this anniversary and look forward to serving the community for many more years.
Thank you,
Officer Brian Huben

***Kewaunee Police Chief Announces Retirement***
Citizens of the City of Kewaunee,
I want to thank you for all of your support that you have granted me over the past 33.5 years of service in this community. It is now time for me to retire from Law Enforcement service as the years are starting to take a toll on me. It has been an honor serving you and talking with many of you over the years. I leave you in good hands with the professionals within the Kewaunee Police Department. I am very proud of what we have accomplished here at the department.
I want you to welcome the incoming Chief of Police, Robin Mueller. Assistant Chief Mueller was my go-to person for the last three years while I served as Chief of Police. Assistant Chief Mueller is very knowledgeable and comes with many years of experience with the City of Kewaunee. Assistant Chief Mueller will be taking over the day-to-day operations of the Kewaunee Police Department while I am on vacation. Assistant Chief Mueller will be sworn in January of 2023 as your new Police Chief for the City of Kewaunee. Please give her a warm welcome to the new position.
Thank you,
James J. Kleiman Jr.
Chief of Police
Kewaunee Police Department
Great advice.
With car vs deer season upon us I took this picture today to show the result of two different reactions to seeing that deer in front of you. The vehicle on the right hit the deer. It sustained some damage but will most likely be fixed. The vehicle on the left swerved to miss the deer, lost control and rolled over. The first instinct when we see an animal on the road is to jerk the wheel and try to avoid it. We need to train ourselves to overcome this as it rarely ends well. The best thing to do is brake hard and repeat in your head straight, straight, straight if you hit it so be it. Vehicles can be repaired/replaced you can not. So please drive safe and remember to Move Over and Slow Down for all vehicles displaying flashing lights on the side of the road.
Well done!!
This morning we awarded Deputy Hailee Wolf, Deputy Brandon Deprey and Officer Riley Glish with our Department's Life Saving Award.
This award was in recognition of their actions in response to an attempted su***de by an inmate in our Jail Facility. Their quick response and decisive action made the difference in saving the life of the individual.
Another great example of the professionalism in the service of our community!
***UPDATE*** The cat has returned home. Thanks everyone! A family has lost their cat from the area of First St and Vliet St. If you happen to see it, please let us know. Thank you!
