UPDATE: Police Investigate Large Disturbance with Shots Fired

April 17, 2025 by Cal Stoffel

UPDATE:
The investigation shows that on the night of this incident (3/30/25), a verbal disturbance occurred outside of a tavern which was broken up by officers on foot patrol. The two groups met at End Park, where a physical altercation started between two male adults. During the fight, members from both sides armed themselves with handguns, which eventually led to gunfire being exchanged by both sides. Thankfully, nobody was struck by gunfire or seriously injured during this incident.

The responsible suspects are both male and female and range in age from 19 to 24 years old. They reside in Sheboygan, Chicago, Milwaukee, or Fond du Lac. As of 4/16/25, we have taken 10 people into custody during this ongoing investigation. Four suspects are still outstanding, and when this investigation concludes, we expect to have 14 people in custody and referred to the District Attorney’s Office for charging. The charges range from 1st degree recklessly endangering safety, felon in possession of a firearm, disorderly conduct while armed, disorderly conduct, and violations of city park curfew.

The Sheboygan Police Department would like to thank all those who have helped with this investigation.

ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
On 3/30/25 around 0200 hours, the Sheboygan Police Department received several calls from citizens regarding hearing gunshots being fired in the area of End Park, 1236 Bell Avenue. Responding officers located numerous spent shell casings in the roadway around the park. A preliminary investigation revealed that there was a large disturbance between approximately 20 people in the park, and in the immediate area surrounding the park. During the disturbance, at least two subjects fired a weapon. No injuries were reported and at this time it is not believed that anyone was struck by gunfire. At this time it is believed that this was a disturbance between at least two groups of people that were known to each other. There is not believed to be any danger to the community at this time. We have identified some of the suspects involved and are continuing to attempt to locate and interview the other people involved in this disturbance. There are no suspects in custody at this time. If you have any information about what happened, or you have video footage of the incident that you believe would be beneficial to the investigation, please contact the Sheboygan Police Department at 920-459- 3333.

2024 SPD Annual Report

April 16, 2025 by Cal Stoffel

The Sheboygan Police Department is pleased to announce the release of its 2024 Annual Report. The report provides a snapshot of the Police Department’s accomplishments, challenges and key activities.

In 2024, we experienced an increase in crimes against persons of approximately 34%, most of which was the result of an increase in aggravated assault. The majority of aggravated assaults reported in Sheboygan are the result of intimate partner violence. We continue to work with other service providers and agencies in Sheboygan to address repeat victimization and reduce recidivism, including participation in high-risk domestic abuse and sexual assault response teams as well as support of drug court and other offender-focused interventions. Property crimes continued to trend down beyond historic lows, with a reduction of around 7%. Last year city residents and businesses experienced just 42 burglaries, compared to 65 the year before and over 400 in the late 2000s.

Also, as a result of our partnership with Sheboygan County Health and Human Services and Elevate, our co-responder program has been overwhelmingly successful at reducing the need for mental health commitments. The co-responders are trained mental health professionals who assist officers in their interactions with those experiencing behavioral health diagnoses or who are in crisis, connecting them with community treatment resources and supports. This means they are often able to intervene before a community member reaches the point of crisis and find a means to keep the person safe without having to conduct an emergency detention, providing for better outcomes and reducing the cost to the county. As a result of this partnership, there were just 51 involuntary commitments compared to 110 in 2023.

We continued to invest in our neighborhood policing and outreach efforts in 2024 to build relationships with the community we serve. We are proud of the high level of proactive, problem-solving work and quality investigations our officers conduct to increase the safety and vibrancy of our neighborhoods. We also appreciate the strong support we receive from the City of Sheboygan leadership, the residents and businesses in our neighborhoods, and our partner agencies who share our dedication to making Sheboygan the safest city of its size in the country. Thank you for your interest in our public safety work and initiatives.

Junior Police Academy Accepting Applications for Summer 2025

April 1, 2025 by Cal Stoffel

The Junior Police Academy is now accepting applications for its Summer 2025 Sessions! We are offering two sessions this summer: Session 1 runs from June 23rd to June 27th, 2025 and Session 2 runs from July 14th to July 18th, 2025.

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 Thursday, May 22nd, 2025. If you have questions, please email School Resource Officer Jonathan Smith at jonathan.smith@sheboyganwi.gov.
