Reedsburg Police Department
The Reedsburg Police Department is a progressive, well trained and fully equipped law enforcement agency that employs fourteen full time sworn officers and six civilian support staff. The department operates three marked patrol units, two unmarked units, and a Narcotics K-9 unit. It operates its own 24-hour per day telecommunications center, which dispatches police, rescue, fire, and EMS services and is interfaced with Sauk County's 911 system.
The department instituted and maintains Sauk County's first D.A.R.E. program, as well as our annual KidCare Photo I.D. program. The officers' and dispatchers' professional associations are involved in many local programs, including the annual Easter Egg Hunt, Toys for Tots, and the American Cancer Society's annual Walk for Live.
All employees hold State of Wisconsin Certification for their respective positions, and average 38 hours of recertification and specialized training each year. New employees undergo an intensive thirteen week field training program before working solo.
The Reedsburg Police Department continues to provide proactive and practical community policing in order to keep criminal activity at a minimum, and to assure that Reedsburg remains a nice place to live.
