As we have talked about in the past, vehicle thefts have become a major problem in Milwaukee County over the past few years. In the past, the problem typically involves unlocked vehicles and vehicles with keys/key fobs left in them. Due to a discovered design flaw with Kias and Hyundai’s, they have now become the easy target.
With all vehicles make sure you are removing valuables, keeping garage door openers and keys out of them, and keeping your doors locked. If you have the option, park the vehicle in a locked garage. If you have to park the vehicle outside, we consider theft deterrents like the Club. While they also can be defeated, they take away the quick easy target that these thiefs are looking for.
And most of all, if you see something, say something. We are happy to check the area if something looks suspicious.

20 years later, these are the 9/11 photos we will never forget
As each generation goes on, you have moments that the people who lived it can tell you exactly what they were doing when they found out the news. The attack on Pearl Harbor, the end of the World Wars, and the Challenger explosion are a few examples from the past generations. Twenty years ago we we had one of those moments.
Images captured on the day of the deadliest foreign attack on U.S. soil tell a story of tragedy, survival.

Back to school photos are filling social media feeds everywhere, often revealing personal information about your child. This information - school name, classroom, grade, age, etc. - can all be used by predators, scammers, and other people looking to endanger your child, family, or finances.
No matter your privacy settings or friends list, its best to keep personal information on the internet to the bare minimum.
Don't share:
❌ School name
❌ Age
❌ Teacher's name and grade
❌ Identifying features (height, weight, etc.)
❌ Overly personal information (think items related to passwords or security question answers, etc.)

Critics question design of Kia, Hyundai vehicles in massive theft spike
This has been a major issue since last winter. In our opinion this is a major design flaw with the Kia’s and Hyundai’s, and the amount of time it takes from when the window is broken until the car is driving away is extremely fast.
If you own a Hyundai or Kia, in the least get a club for it and use it every time you park it. The club can still be defeated, but it takes more time to do that and takes away the ease that they typically get from stealing these cars.
"There's a mechanism that they manipulate and it could be as easily as manipulated with a USB cord," a police spokesperson said.

Today, May 15, is National Peace Officers Memorial Day. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy issued a proclamation declaring the week of May 15th as Police Week and May 15th as Peace Officers Memorial Day to honor the memories of peace officers killed in the line of duty
Today, 295 peace officers, who sacrificed their lives in 2020, are being honored and remembered. Their names will be added to the National Peace Officers Memorial Wall in Washington D.C.
Although the names of these officers are and will be placed on the National Peace Officers Memorial Wall, their memories live on each day in our hearts.

Which one is the real one?
The one on the left was discovered by a neighboring agency during a traffic stop. It's not real, it's a BB gun. The one on the right is one of our old duty fi****ms.
When you take the time to zoom in and inspect the pictures, you can tell the differences. Now imagine you are 20 feet away, it's being pointed at you, a hand is covering part of it, and you don't have the lighting like in the pictures. How quickly could you tell then?

As the weather is finally starting to warm up, motorcyclists are coming out. They are harder to see than other vehicles and sometimes can not be easily heard. Remember to look out for them on the roadways and look twice before changing lanes.

For some of you the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations have already begun. That makes for a long day of drinking and a lot of alcohol. Plan ahead. Don’t drink and drive. There’s plenty of time to arrange for a ride home later from a sober friend. Or use and Uber, Lyft, or Taxi.

New Years Eve is easy to plan for, it’s December 31st every year. You take the time to plan the party, plan your outfit, now take the time to plan your ride.
If you are drinking, don’t drive. Find a ride. There are plenty of options. Taxis, Uber/Lyft, a sober friend, or stay the night where you are. The cost of a ride is cheap compared to fines, attorney fees, lawsuits, or jail time.
Happy New Year from the River Hills Police Department!

This afternoon the River Hills Police Dept. hosted a South East Wisconsin OWI Task Force Roll Call at our Park and Ride Lot. The South East task force is a collaboration of more than 40 law enforcement agencies in the South East part of the state. Our goal is to reduce the number of impaired drivers on the road through education and enforcement.
Prior to covid, this was one of the busier drinking nights of the year. We aren’t sure what this year will bring, but our departments will be out looking for these impaired drivers. If you are going to go out drinking, take an Uber/Lyft, get a taxi, or call a friend. Don’t drive.
The South East Task Force would also like to thank the members of the media that came out today to help spread this message for us.

Our department has had numerous cases of people who have had fentanyl on them or in their vehicle. We’ve also dealt with numerous people who have had it in their system. We’ve also had three instances where people who thought they had just co***ne, had their drugs test positive for fentanyl.
I feel like we shouldn’t have to say this, but drugs are bad, you shouldn’t use them. Now more than ever you don’t know what drugs were cut with or laced with. And adding things like fentanyl into the mix is why we are continuing to see overdose deaths grow each year.

Hartland Officer Recovery Fund, organized by Luke Joswick
The family is going through a lot while this officer begins their road to recovery. Money is being spent in ways they probably didn’t expect to spend it as family is in and out of the hospital. There’s also lost wages when the officer is unable to work any additional shifts or overtime. Any help you would considering giving would be greatly appreciated.
On Friday, 11-06-2020, a Village of Hartland Police Officer was shot in the line of duty. … Luke Joswick needs your support for Hartland Officer Recovery Fund

The River Hills Police Department is kindly asking you to not be this guy. While dealing with traffic for the Bayside fire, one of our officers witnessed this guy run through one of the gates used to shut down the freeway on ramps. When we have cones, barricades, gates, or squads blocking off the road, the road is closed. Please do not try to go through. Thankfully we had squads blocking the interstate just north of the ramp so he was forced right back off the interstate and it didn’t effect any of the fire department’s operations. In this case he only ended up with a citation and scratched up car. In a different case it could’ve had a much worse outcome.
We apologize for the poor sound and bouncy video. But, this is a reminder to LOCK YOUR DOORS. That means your house and cars. This vehicle was observed this morning around 5 AM circling a neighborhood in our village just off of Brown Deer Rd. One of our Sergeants observed the vehicle, thought it was suspicious, and did a records check on the vehicle. It came back stolen. The Sgt. pursued the vehicle for a couple minutes before terminating. The vehicle had been stolen on 10/07 out of Whitefish Bay at around 4 AM. The North Shore has been hit recently with a number of stolen vehicles and thefts from vehicles. Most, but not all, of the stolen vehicles have keys in them. Also, most of the thefts reported are from unlocked vehicles. The best way to prevent these thefts is to lock your doors and leave your keys out of the vehicle!
Over a 5 day period we had two OWI arrests that were both slightly different than usual. But, both arrests took dangerous drivers off the streets. On 06/21/17 an officer was behind a vehicle when he noticed it deviate from its lane of traffic. As he began to follow the car further the vehicle signaled a right turn, but made a quick U-turn to the left. The vehicle then accelerated at a high speed. Our officer attempted to stop the vehicle and it continued without yielding to the officer. Per the passenger, the driver finally decided to stop after the passenger told him too numerous times. A "high risk stop" procedure was performed and both subjects were taken into custody. The vehicle belonged to the passenger, but the registration was not in his name. After paperwork was brought to the scene confirming the vehicle was owned by him, the passenger and the vehicle were released. The driver admitted to smoking ma*****na prior to driving. A smoked ma*****na blunt "roach" was found in his pocket. The driver failed Standardized Field Sobriety Testing and a Drug Recognition Expert also confirmed that he was under the influence of ma*****na. The subject incurred Felony charges for Fleeing/Eluding an Officer and Municipal charges for Operating While Impaired. On 06/26/17, a Sgt. was driving southbound on I-43, in a marked squad car, when he was passed by a vehicle in excess of 100 mph in a 55 mph speed limit. The vehicle slowed slightly to pass traffic and a stopped Deputy who was assisting a motorist. At that time, he was clocked by radar at 81 mph in a 55 mph speed limit. After clearing traffic, he again accelerated back to 100 mph. The Sgt. reached an area where he was then able to safely initiate a traffic stop. The driver failed Standardized Field Sobriety Testing and gave a PBT sample, which gave a result of .20. The driver refused to give an intoximeter or blood sample. A search warrant was obtained for a blood sample and the test results are currently pending. Th
This video shows a short pursuit one of our officers was in a few months ago. At the beginning of the video you see a vehicle make a U-turn at an intersection with a no U-turn sign posted. While doing the U-turn the officer also noted that the turn didn't seem smooth and was more erratic than normal. While attempting to stop the vehicle, the vehicle initially begins to stop in the left lane (the law says to pull to the right), and then begins to flee from the officer. Continued erratic behavior is observed as the vehicle begins to deviate lanes. After the vehicle goes through the red lights, the officer begins to back off and is about to terminate the pursuit when the vehicle loses control and crashes into a wooded area. The driver fled on foot and was later taken into custody without incident after a foot pursuit. We pass along this video for two reasons. The first is the effect of making poor decisions and fleeing the police. And the second is the effects of ma*****na. The subject was charged with fleeing an officer, a felony. He is currently in prison serving a 15 month sentence based on the fact that he fled from our officer that night. He also has 15 months of supervised probation after his prison sentence. Two minutes of poor decision making turned him into a felon and has him in prison for over a year. The next issue is the synthetic ma*****na found in the vehicle. A search of the vehicle produced two packages, one open, of synthetic ma*****na. Along with that was a smoked blunt containing the same green leafy substance as the synthetic ma*****na. A Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) also performed an evaluation on the subject and confirmed that he was showing impairment by ma*****na. People deem ma*****na as a "safe" drug. "It's safer than alcohol", "no one gets hurt by it", etc. Watching this video is there anyone who would feel safe being in one of the cars around a vehicle being driven like this? Thankfully traffic was as light as it wa

Want to change up that uniformed look for something brighter? Does the black button up shirt arm seams get in the way of that cotton polyester single pocket blend you’ve always wanted to sport? Perhaps a leather badge backing to go with your dresses down belt apparel? Well check out our inventory below. From badges to tie clips, hat pins to merit ribbons, we got you covered. Badges also available in pink and blue if that’s your way to handle a case firsthand.
Hello. I've been doing some research into this app and how it works. I figured since they are using a "quote" from one of your SGTs I'd ask if this is for real. I know that these "quotes" are not always true but since this app concerns safety I thought I'd double check. Just trying to get info for an informed decision.
seen in your area please share
What happened on Brown Deer Road on Saturday? Road closed all day. Car hit house, car in ditch near an electric pole. Our power was out for almost an hour.
