The early morning hours began with rapid activity at the intersection of Neva Road and North Avenue. An accidental log entry for a traffic stop at 12:20 AM was quickly cleared up by a legitimate stop one minute later, resulting in a citation for speeding. Within the hour, officers handled two back-to-back requests to assist other agencies, with the second occurring on Nantasket Street. Disturbances picked up as the night progressed; at 1:24 AM, a welfare check was initiated at an apartment complex where a tenant had reportedly been screaming for four consecutive hours, though responding units found no answer at the door. Shortly after, at 1:39 AM, a noise complaint was logged regarding a vehicle repeatedly revving its engine down the road, but the area fell quiet by the time an officer arrived. Just before 2:00 AM, a traffic stop at Lincoln Street and 4th Avenue concluded with a driver cited for operating while suspended (OWS) and given verbal and written warnings for operating after suspension (OAS), a loud exhaust, and a defective headlight. Nighttime traffic enforcement wound down at South Superior Street and 10th Avenue with a verbal warning for speed, which briefly spun off a secondary assistance log. At 5:24 AM, an officer addressed a suspicious activity call by advising individuals of local parking restrictions.
The mid-morning shifts focused on administrative requests, property protection, and hazardous road conditions. At 8:21 AM, a warrant check was successfully cleared, followed by a routine home check on County Road A that found the property fully secure. At 9:17 AM, a theft was reported on Rusch Road involving an individual who dropped off garbage without paying; it was later marked down as an honest mistake after the citizen promised to return and settle the balance. A traffic stop at County Road A and Pence Lake Road at 9:32 AM ended with a citation for lacking proof of insurance and a verbal warning for speeding. Citizen assistance was required on County Road I at 9:52 AM when a complainant reported that her granddaughter had taken her vehicle and failed to return it. Shortly after, a suspicious activity report on Mapleview Road detailed a concerning voicemail where a female could be heard screaming at a 14-year-old child. Widespread hazards materialized at 10:06 AM when a truck caught fire directly on the roadway near County Road F and North Stoney Road, though it remained clear of nearby structures. By late morning, a bail jumping complaint came in from Clermont Street involving a husband attempting to call his wife from jail against court restrictions. The noon hour saw infrastructure trouble when a fallen tree brought down power lines near pole 55n33, prompting an emergency notification to Wisconsin Public Service.
As the afternoon unfolded, reports shifted to municipal complaints, wildlife management, and property standbys. An animal complaint on County Road I was followed by a property trespass call on Elton South Road, where a truck and trailer were observed driving across private land against the owner's wishes. A harassment complaint was logged on Spring Lake Road at 12:42 PM, and a parking complaint at Spruce Street and Balsam Street addressed a vehicle left on the wrong side of the road for several days. After a routine weather alarm test at 1:24 PM and a follow-up investigation at 1:30 PM, a lost item was recovered from the middle of the road near Maple Street and South Clermont Street. A dangerous driving incident was reported at 2:58 PM near State Road 64 and Townline Road, where a maroon Nissan passed aggressively in a no-passing zone, forcing the complainant into a ditch; because the officer's digital citation system was down, a citation for operating without a license was mailed out along with multiple written warnings. Wildlife hazards emerged at 3:53 PM at County Road S and Riverside Road, where a dead deer was cleared from the northbound lane.
The evening hours rounded out the day with property checks, welfare lookouts, and localized traffic enforcement. Around 4:54 PM, an animal complaint regarding a dog running in the road turned up empty-handed. Meanwhile, an officer checked an apartment on behalf of an out-of-town resident to lock an unsecured door, noting the interior was heavily disarrayed. Public relations and warrant checks occupied the 5:00 PM hour, alongside a motorist assist at South Superior Street and Forrest Road involving a broken-down vehicle that had just been purchased. By 5:50 PM, loose dogs were reported attempting to cross a road, though the area was clear when an officer arrived. After a series of civil complaints and standbys between 6:22 PM and 7:35 PM, a domestic dispute flared up at 7:48 PM, spawning an immediate assistance request from neighboring units. Nighttime traffic enforcement saw several verbal warnings issued: one for speeding at 8:50 PM on US 45 and Branch Road, another for a defective tail light and blinker at 9:58 PM on County Road K and Dorr Street, and a third for lane deviation at 11:24 PM on US 45 and County Road C. The busy day ended with a secure bank deposit escort at 11:47 PM on 6th Avenue and a final traffic stop at South Dorr Street and Langlade Street resulting in written warnings for a broken brake light and driving without insurance.
The morning kicked off cleanly after sunrise with a theft report at 7:15 AM on Angle Road, where a property owner reported toolboxes and hand tools stolen earlier in the week. Shortly after, a cell phone found near County Road G and Stoney Road was safely logged and later reclaimed by its owner. Municipal issues popped up at 7:54 AM on County Road CC and County Line Road when a large pile of gravel was found blocking the roadway, prompting a call to the town chairman. Minutes later, an alarm company reported a gym lobby motion detector going off along 7th Avenue. At 9:00 AM, a serious family dispute surfaced on Meadow Road regarding guns allegedly stolen from a mother’s estate by a relative. Late morning involved civil inquiries on County Road J, a controlled brush burn notice on State Road 64, and a car-versus-deer collision at 10:51 AM on US 45 and County Road D, where a maroon Chrysler struck a deer that had to be dispatched in the northbound lane.
The afternoon and evening brought a heavy focus on civil standby requests and a localized surge in traffic enforcement. Civil standbys were requested on County Road J at 2:04 PM, followed by a minor property damage fender-bender between a maroon Dodge and a red Honda on private property along Forrest Road at 2:24 PM. An alleged trespassing incident on County Road F at 3:49 PM turned out to be unfounded after the homeowner confirmed the visitors had permission to be there. At 4:38 PM, a welfare check on Star-Neva Road cleared quickly after a male who fell off his lawnmower got back up and reported he was fine. A high-tech civil dispute occurred at 6:52 PM on County Road J, where a victim tracked a restraining order violator to a nearby trailer house using an AirTag, though deputies determined no legal violation took place at that specific location. Sunset triggered an intense wave of traffic stops, primarily focused around County Road T and State Road 55 between 7:32 PM and 11:57 PM. Arriving units handed out a barrage of verbal warnings for speeding and defective tail lights, alongside a formal speeding citation at 10:14 PM. Isolated non-traffic events included an accidental 911 pocket dial at Sawyer Lake Road at 8:01 PM, a recovered brown wallet on Ackley Street at 8:40 PM, and a report of an unoccupied vehicle left on State Road 52 at 9:56 PM. The night wrapped up with final equipment warnings issued near Christie Road and County Road X just before midnight.
Law enforcement kept a steady pace through the early morning hours, starting at 12:10 AM with a tense 911 hang-up on Klapper Road where a dispatcher overheard a male telling someone to "chill out" before insisting everything was fine on callback. Traffic enforcement immediately followed, featuring a speeding warning at Neva Road and North Avenue and an insurance violation citation on South Superior Street. Routine beat patrols were carried out at 3:50 AM along 5th Avenue and Clermont Street, and again at 8:12 AM on the 2nd Avenue Boardwalk. Morning public relations events at Lake Park were balanced by animal calls; at 7:06 AM, deputies looked for a friendly brown and tan goat wearing a blue collar running loose near State Road 52 and Grey Road, and at 10:21 AM, a resident on Enterprise Lake Road complained about an ongoing issue with a neighbor’s dog trespassing on their land. Suspicious activity reports dotted the afternoon, starting at 12:36 PM on County Road F where a black truck was seen idling in a driveway with its doors open. At 3:30 PM, a resident on Borth Lake Road reported hearing continuous "automatic gunfire" for over an hour, though responding units were unable to locate the source. Animal and property disputes continued with a dog complaint on Freiburger Avenue and a domestic altercation at 4:15 PM on County Road P, where multiple individuals were attempting to start a fight in a driveway.
The evening brought noise disruptions, weapon calls, and severe highway accidents. Disconnected or suspicious phone contacts kept dispatchers busy on Superior Street and 10th Avenue throughout the late afternoon. By 6:38 PM, street racing was reported on Saratoga Street involving a Ford Explorer and an Impala flying past a home. At 6:59 PM, rifle shots on State Road 55 were investigated and attributed to a neighboring gentleman target shooting safely. Minutes later, a theft was reported on Meadow Road involving stolen shotgun shells and tools, pointing to the same family suspect from the prior day. Noise complaints regarding loud music on Lincoln Street resolved peacefully at 7:44 PM. However, dangerous road conditions led to two major car-versus-deer accidents: the first at 7:46 PM near State Road 47 and Sugarbush Road, and the second at 9:13 PM near County Road A and County Road C, both leaving the involved vehicles completely undrivable and requiring emergency tows. The night concluded with a series of suspicious vehicle checks on State Road 52 and 5th Avenue—including a report of a man "hooting and hollering" inside a pickup truck topper—and a final traffic warning behind Dixie for a vehicle operating with a suspended registration.
The start of the week focused heavily on routine property checks, administrative filings, and financial crimes. The early morning kicked off with a 5:18 AM home check on County Road A noting a tan Suburban in the driveway but no suspicious activity, followed by an animal dispatch call at 5:45 AM on State Road 64 and Ackley Road to handle an injured turkey. General agency assistance was provided on 3rd Avenue and Superior Street at 5:51 AM, and a loose German Shepherd with a pink-handled leash was safely returned home on Clermont Street at 8:01 AM. Following an extra patrol monitor on County Road X and Fernwood Road that found no active drag racing, a major fraud report was filed at 11:59 AM on County Road A, where a victim discovered their credit card had been hacked to the tune of $4,000.
Afternoon and evening calls mixed routine citizen tracking with minor accidents and environmental concerns. A routine business check on County Road T at 12:00 PM was followed by the recovery of a black Carhartt wallet near County Roads C and A. Accidental 911 calls caused by phone case installations or misdirected screen swipes were resolved on County Road H and East Shore Road. At 2:49 PM, a mother called from County Road to report her ex-husband was actively violating an active restraining order. Later in the evening, a tree was found resting precariously on a power line along State Road 47 at 7:49 PM, and a motorist assist was handled at County Road S and Park Road. At 8:26 PM, a thick plume of black smoke deep in the woods off County Road D led to the discovery of an unattended tire fire. The day concluded at 9:13 PM with a final traffic stop at US 45 and Valley Vista Road, where a Ford F250 pulling a boat was given a verbal warning for defective trailer lights.
Tuesday proved to be an exceptionally active day for local law enforcement, spanning extensive traffic management and critical citizen assistance. Early morning patrols included a general assist on State Road 55 and a speeding warning on US 45 at 3:39 AM. Property checks on County Road A and a lost wallet recovery on Clermont Street led into a 5:24 AM traffic stop at 6th Avenue and Superior Street. Suspicious activity cropped up at 5:31 AM when an open door was discovered on an empty, vacant residence near Freiburger Avenue, prompting an emergency property clearing. As the morning progressed, administrative tasks at the Clermont Street Safety Building included tracking spam calls, handling civil inquiries regarding evictions, and running a scheduled automated system test event. In the field, deputies handled minor civil complaints regarding erratic drivers slamming their brakes near County Road AA, sorted out a minor disorderly conduct incident between separated parties at 12:11 PM, and helped transport a stray cat caught in a live trap to the local humane society.

At 12:28 PM, a swerving red GMC truck was tracked down near County Road A and County Road S, where the driver was counseled. Motorist assists involving trucks pulling trailers were handled on US 45, and a serious identity theft report was filed at 3:50 PM on Koepenick Road, where a victim discovered an unauthorized withdrawal from their credit union account transferred directly into a PayPal account. Civil disputes over cut phone lines on Van Alstine Road and potential disturbances following divorce paper deliveries on Edison Street kept units on high alert. Animal control was called out for a dog bite case at the hospital emergency room at 5:49 PM, while an evening motorcycle complaint on Dorr Street detailed a young male running stop signs and riding on sidewalks. The day wound down with multiple controlled brush burn notifications on County Road AA and Badger Road, a series of late-night traffic enforcement stops on US 45 and State Road 64 yielding verbal warnings for speeding and broken headlights, and a final written warning for speeding on South Superior Street just before midnight.
Early morning operations focused primarily on property security and widespread wildlife hazards. Business checks on Clear Lake Road and Park Road ran smoothly until 3:39 AM, when a harassment complaint came in from South Pratt Road regarding an unknown individual shouting cryptic phrases outside a home before fleeing. Widespread traffic enforcement kicked off at 5:50 AM on County Road S and Stone Haven Drive, where a driver was issued a citation for driving without proof of insurance and written warnings for speeding and running a stop sign. Widespread animal collisions dominated the commute hours: a white Chevy van struck a deer at 6:29 AM near State Road 47 and US 45, and a grey Ford Mustang hit another deer at 7:04 AM on Forrest Road and Crestwood Road, requiring deputies to dispatch the animal and file state crash reports. Waking up campers, a group of kids with a loud car hanging around a Park Road swimming area caused a suspicious activity complaint at 10:02 AM. Shortly after, another dead deer had to be removed from the middle of State Road 64 near the county line.
The second half of the day brought a mix of public assistance, road blockages, and traffic checks. Accidental 911 calls were cleared, and a vehicle lockout at a campground on County Road H was successfully resolved without damage at 2:17 PM. A two-vehicle accident at 3:00 PM near US 45 and West Bear Lake Road required emergency towing but luckily resulted in zero injuries or lane blockages. Widespread storm damage or environmental factors caused an emergency road blockage at 5:48 PM on US 45 and Birch Road, where a downed tree obstructed the northbound lane, alongside a second tree down near Bear Lake Road.

The evening concluded with a final live animal hazard at 7:12 PM when a deer was struck on Hillside Road, followed by late-night traffic enforcement stops on State Road 64 and US 45 that resulted in verbal warnings for speeding and defective vehicle lighting.

Shortly after, at 8:33 PM, sheep were reported running loose near County Road S and State Road 64, followed closely at 9:05 PM by a downed fence on Forrest Road that allowed a herd of cows to escape onto the highway. Deputies worked quickly to identify and contact the owners of the loose livestock. Simultaneous traffic enforcement across US 45 and County Road A yielded multiple verbal warnings for speeding, a citation for operating with a suspended registration, and equipment warnings for expired tags and lane deviations, before winding down just before midnight.
The final day in the report log remained brief but active during the early morning hours. At 3:01 AM, a traffic stop on State Road 64 and Roehrig Road resulted in a standard verbal warning for speeding. Widespread wildlife and livestock hazards returned at dawn: a car-versus-deer collision was logged at 5:22 AM on County Road V, where the driver was able to navigate her damaged vehicle home after the deer ended up dead in the ditch. Just three minutes later, at 5:25 AM, emergency lines received a call regarding a large, dark brown horse loose and wandering in the middle of the road near Crestwood Road and Orchard Road, which resolved successfully after the caller located the horse's owner.
