The Sheboygan Police Department will be hosting its 25th Annual Citizen Academy starting on April 13, 2021 and concluding on June 8, 2021. The 9 week course will be held on Tuesday evenings at the Sheboygan Police Department, 1315 N 23rd St, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. There is no cost to attend and participants will be provided credentials and class materials. It is important for the participant to be able to attend each week, as each course week is built upon the preceding week.
The Citizen Academy is designed to be interactive through lectures, demonstrations and practical exercises. The purpose of the academy is to provide stakeholders of the City of Sheboygan an understanding of the police department and its functions and to enhance relationships between the community and police department. Participants will be exposed to many areas of police work including the hiring process, current department initiatives, police investigations, use of force, and the legal system.
Applicants must be at least 18 years of age and have no felony arrests or convictions. Background checks will be conducted on all applicants. Letters of acceptance or regrets will be mailed to applicants.

From December 1st through April 30th, overnight winter parking regulations are in effect between the hours of midnight and 6:00 AM. Vehicles must alternate sides for overnight parking. The city’s winter parking rules are in place to improve efficiency in clearing streets from snow, ice and debris all winter.
On Odd-Numbered Days: Between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 6:00 a.m., vehicles shall only be parked on that side of the street having odd-numbered street addresses (East and South Sides).
On Even-Numbered Days: Between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 6:00 a.m., vehicles shall only be parked on that side of the street having even-numbered street addresses (North and West Sides).
Streets posted with “No Parking” restrictions shall remain in effect; therefore are NOT under alternate side parking rules.
***The simple rule: PARK FOR TOMORROW***
We appreciate everyone’s help in allowing us to prevent dangerous or slippery conditions for drivers and pedestrians, to keep gutters and drains clear for the spring thaw, and to maintain and repair pavement after the harsh winter season.

Shortly after 6:00 PM on Monday, November 9th, the Sheboygan Police Department responded to a report of shots fired in the area of Union Avenue and S 15th Street. Earlier in the day a vehicle had been stolen in the city of Manitowoc. Suspects in the stolen vehicle attempted to steal another vehicle in Sheboygan but the driver drove away from them. The suspects fired rounds at the vehicle, striking it as it drove away. No one was injured. Shortly after, another vehicle was stolen from its owner in the 1300 block of N 15th Street after a suspect pointed a firearm at that driver. Both vehicles left the area and were located by the Sheboygan County Sherriff’s Department on I-43. The stolen vehicle from Manitowoc was eventually stopped just south of the Village of Belgium after spike strips were deployed. Two persons fled the vehicle but were located nearby after a search was conducted by several law enforcement agencies. The two people taken into custody were 16 and 17 year old males.
The vehicle stolen in Sheboygan has not been located at this time. It is described as a red 2015 Ford Edge sport utility vehicle with Wisconsin registration plates 444DSW.
Officers have developed potential suspects and are continuing to investigate these events. Officers from the Sheboygan Police Department worked in cooperation on this investigation with officers from the Sheboygan County Sherrif’s Department, Ozaukee County Sherriff’s Department, Manitowoc Police, Port Washington Police, Plymouth Police, and Saukville Police.
