The Sturgeon Bay Police Department received two separate reports of fraud involving a person posing as an employee trying to switch banking information. The scammer requests personnel to change their payroll direct deposit to a new account; this is done via email, from an address that does not belong to the real employee.
The most recent cases of fraud reported to the Sturgeon Bay Police Department involved Green Dot Bank. If youโre unsure about a financial services company, check the FCA Register of regulated companies. If they are not on it, donโt have anything to do with them.
Remember, never provide banking information or personal information over the phone or in an email. If you suspect something isnโt right, pause and investigate further.
Lastly, report the attempt or the act to your local law enforcement agency so they can investigate as far as they can, and also alert the public.

Today we acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of women police officers who serve our communities. According the Bureau of Justice Statistics, women account for roughly 10% of the police force in the United States.
The first female police officer in the United States was most likely Marie Owens who was hired by the Chicago Police Department in 1891. Alice Wells, was the first American-born female police officer in the United States, being sworn in as an officer in 1910 by the Los Angeles Police Department.
Thank you to the women who serve in law enforcement!

The team practiced recovering a victim and sunken vehicle. The dive team also trained using sonar and an underwater ROV to locate the vehicle, a boat, and other objects sunk in the dock.

Often, school bus drivers call us to look into an incident where a driver illegally passes them. Drivers must ๐๐๐๐. A law enforcement officer does not need to witness the violation if reported by the school bus driver.
- Drivers must stop on the street or highway 20 feet or more from any school bus that has stopped and is flashing red warning lights.
- This applies both to vehicles approaching from the rear and from the opposing lanes.โ
- All lanes of traffic must stop for the school bus, except in opposing lanes if the highway is divided with a center median.
- No vehicle may proceed until the bus resumes motion and has turned off the red warning lights.

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)

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. ๐ถ ๐
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 Bayโs 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 suspectโs 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. The video is constantly being updated with new and exciting material. We would like to thank the band Skillet for allowing us to use their hit song "Hero" in this video.
