The Junior Police Academy is now accepting applications for its Summer 2023 Sessions! We are offering two sessions this summer: Session 1 runs from June 26th to June 30th and Session 2 runs from July 17th to July 21st.
Many students view the police officer only in the role of “enforcer.” Junior Police Academy is designed to take the mystery out of law enforcement and provide a comfortable setting which allows officers and students to interact in an environment free from enforcement. It provides an opportunity for officers and students to see each other as people, rather than as adversaries.
For more information and to register, please visit our Junior Police Academy page. The deadline to register is the end of the day on Monday, June 5th. If you have questions, please email School Resource Officer Jonathan Smith at jonathan.smith@sheboyganwi.gov.
The Sheboygan Police Department front desk will be closed on Friday, April 7th in observance of Good Friday. It will re-open on Monday, April 10th. Parking tickets can be paid online by going to https://www.sheboyganwi.gov/residents/online-payments/.
The Sheboygan Police Department is pleased to announce the release of its 2022 Annual Report. The report documents our challenges, accomplishments, and key activities for the year.
Part 1 crimes in the City of Sheboygan remained flat and 12% below 2020 and 50% below 2012. We also continued to see a positive trend in traffic accidents which remained under 1,500 for the third year in a row. During 2022 we increased our messaging, traffic enforcement and arrests, yet we continue to still see too much aggressive and distracted driving on our streets. As a community, we all need to take responsibility for improving our individual driving habits.
During 2022 we continued to advocate for additional resources and new response models. Working with our partners we were able to secure American Rescue Plan funding from both the city and county to fund a pilot co-response program in 2023 that will embed social workers in the Sheboygan Police Department for an alternative response to those in the community who are in crisis due to a Mental Health or substance abuse disorder. Our goals are to develop relationships and help connect these individuals with the resources that will keep them in the community and provide for better outcomes.

Please take a moment to review the below message which is being shared by the Sheboygan Area School District:
The Sheboygan Area School District (SASD) has become aware of troubling posts that have been shared today (2/9/23) regarding a threat to school safety at South High School. The SASD administration and Sheboygan Police Department worked together to determine the threat was not credible.
This appears to be a situation that has affected many school districts across the country in recent days. There have been numerous reports of schools receiving internet-based phone calls with these threats, which are unsubstantiated. Ours was one of the school districts affected.
While this threat was a likely hoax, we understand the anxiety a situation like this can cause for our families, students, staff, and community. Please know that our top priority is the safety and wellbeing of our students and staff. We take any and all reports of potential threats seriously, and we are making every effort to maintain an environment where students and staff feel safe.
As always, when social media is used in this manner, it is taken seriously by the school administration along with the police, and collaborative efforts are made to investigate and inform the community. We will continue to closely monitor the situation.
If you or your child hear of a threat to a school, no matter the time of day or night, immediately report the threat to the police or a school official so an investigation can commence. This is the single most important thing we can all do to keep our schools safe. We work closely with the Sheboygan Police Department to determine the threat level and subsequent actions.
As always, thank you for your partnership as we work to ensure a safe, secure, and positive learning environment for our students.
