Peace Officer Memorial Day
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation which designated May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as Police Week. It is held annually in honor of federal, state and local officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice and is observed in conjunction with National Police Week.
Events scheduled this year in Wisconsin and in Washington D.C. were cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns.
We will never forget our fallen officers throughout the State of Wisconsin and United States.

🧑🎓 Congratulations Sturgeon Bay High School Senior Class of 2020!!! 🧑🎓
If you visit our downtown district, you will see banners of our High School Graduates displayed throughout the area! Congratulations from the Sturgeon Bay Police Department and we wish you continued success!
Unfortunately, the 4th of July events in Sturgeon Bay are cancelled. See the release below from Destination Sturgeon Bay.
We are absolutely heartbroken 💔 Please read below for more information.
Door County 4th of July Events Canceled
For Immediate Release
May 12, 2020—It is with great disappointment that the communities of Door County have announced that 4th of July festivities have been canceled throughout the county, including fireworks celebrations in Baileys Harbor, Egg Harbor, Sturgeon Bay, Maplewood, and Gills Rock. This includes parades in Baileys Harbor and Egg Harbor and Freedom Fest on July 11 in Sister Bay.
This decision comes only after careful consideration and consultation with all communities, municipal boards, business associations, stakeholders, emergency services, and the Door County Public Health Department. Ultimately, each community decided that concern for the health and safety of our visitors, residents, vendors, and our health care workers is more important than our desire to celebrate in mass gatherings.
This was an incredibly difficult decision for our communities to reach. Celebrating our independence, our communities, and our neighbors is something we look forward to every year, and we know it’s something our visitors and businesses look forward to as well. But in a time of social distancing, we can’t responsibly encourage thousands of people to congregate in environments that are impossible to police and therefore are following the guidelines laid out for “outdoor events” by the WEDC.
This in no way should lessen the meaning of the day, and we urge everyone to celebrate the spirit of our nation's heritage in a manner in which you feel comfortable.
Public safety was, and will always be, the primary factor in this decision, but not the only one. We rely on donors to fund our 4th of July events and fireworks shows and it takes time to collect those funds, order supplies, and prepare for festivities. Given the present economic climate, we did not feel that it was appropriate to ask our businesses and residents to donate when most are experiencing extreme financial hardship. We also don’t feel it’s appropriate to ask our public works crews, firefighters, police officers, and first responders to put themselves at greater risk than necessary.
Our communities will do everything we can to make these celebrations better than ever in 2021.

With all the health concerns, we had to make a few changes! Remember: - Try to have less contact with people (handshaking, etc.) - Remember social distancing - Try to be around crowds with less then 10 people - Wash your hands, vehicles, house, etc. - Be a great community member and watch out for the elderly. - Don't buy out the stores... other people need stuff too! - Don't travel if you don't need to. We'll get past this soon. Stay healthy, Sturgeon Bay. We’re there if you need us! #StopTheSpread

BODY CAM FOOTAGE: With the heavy amount of snow that hit Sturgeon Bay, we had to make some quick changes to our vehicle patrol. These 2 cylinder, 2 stroke machines can get us from Point A to Point B very quickly. With over 100HP, the Blue Falcon will definetly grab the attention of our citizens. Don't worry Sturgeon Bay, Snowmageddon won't keep us down. We're there if you need us!
Snow & ice= Slippery Driving Conditions Snow, ice & walking on the sidewalk= Police Officer slipping on the ice If out and about today, take it slow. We had some light rain which caused icy roadways. Turn on your headlights, slow down, and keep some distance. We're there if you need us!
SNOWBALL FIGHTS!! We heard the Wausau Police Department has been dealing with the inaccurate reporting that it is "illegal" to have a snowball fight in their City. Sturgeon Bay Residents: you can DEFINITELY have a snowball fight in the City of Sturgeon Bay. There are three rules: - Have fun - Don't throw them at moving cars. - Don't throw them at someone that doesn't want to be hit We're there if you need us!
PSA: 7 Deer Season Driving Tips! With some of these safety tips, you could reduce the risk of hitting a deer! #1, Be cautious driving during dusk or dawn. Deer are more active during those times! #2, Pay attention at those deer crossing signs. #3, Ope, If you see a deer, there might be more! #4, Unlike the officer in the video, take precautions when driving at night........ #5, Don't swerve to hit a deer. (Disclaimer: Officers on the SBPD don't move live deer). Stay in your lane and try to slow down. #6, Also...make sure you have vehicle insurance and comprehensive insurance for deer collisions. (vehicle insurance is the law in Wisconsin). #7, Report a deer-vehicle crash to law enforcement. Officers will take the report for your insurance company! (No deer were harmed in the making of this video)
After a long journey and time away from family, welcome home to the crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Mobile Bay. Hope you have a great first weekend home! Hope everyone has a great, safe weekend also and stay warm!
Nightshift was involved in a foot pursuit. This little guy decided to run away from home! After evading officers, she was later found by her owner. Officers gave her a warning for resisting arrest. 🐶 🐕
PRESS RELEASE: Vehicle Pursuit with Injury 03/16/2019, 2:20am An officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the west side of Sturgeon Bay for a vehicle that was traveling across the Michigan Street Bridge with heavy front end damage. The vehicle was also sparking, missing a tire, and appeared to have just been involved in an accident. The vehicle fled at a high rate of speed. Officers began to pursue the vehicle through Sturgeon Bay’s West side. During the pursuit, one squad car lost control on a patch of ice which caused a near collision. The vehicle pursuit ended on the 200 block of West Spruce Street, where the vehicle pulled into a driveway and hit a snowbank. The vehicle was still in gear. The suspect inside the vehicle jumped out the passenger side and ran on foot towards a residence, in an attempt to elude law enforcement. At that time, officers were involved in a foot pursuit after the suspect. During the foot pursuit, the suspect ran up steps to a residence. An officer attempted to physically bring him to the ground and stop him from getting inside. Another officer deployed a Taser at the suspect to stop his resistance. The suspect was actively attempting to get inside of a residence to flee law enforcement and actively resisting arrest. During the struggle, the suspect fell off the steps to the residence, which caused an injury to his head and neck. The suspect was transported to a local hospital by Door County Emergency Services and later transported to a hospital in Green Bay, WI. No officers were injured during the incident. The suspect’s injuries are not life threatening and he has been released from the hospital. Officers later located a crash scene, where the suspect had hit a parked vehicle and fled. The suspect was interviewed at a later date regarding the incident. The suspect, a 38 year old Sturgeon Bay man, is being referred for the following offenses: - Operate under the Influence, 1st Offense - Fleeing
DRIVE SAFE! We have been spoiled with the great weather and forgot what it's like to drive in the snowy conditions. Take your time getting to your destination this afternoon into the evening with the blowing snow and icy roads. Be safe and have a great weekend!
The video depicts what Sturgeon Bay Police Officers do each and every day. It also provides a glimpse as to some of the many opportunities the department offers to its Officers.
