The Sheboygan Police Department is investigating a suspicious water entry into the Sheboygan River.

At approximately 10:50 am, our dispatch center received a call of an unknown person, who dove into the river and the person did not resurface.

Sheboygan Police Officers, Coast Guard, and Sheboygan County Dive Team responded to the area and began searching the land and water for any person that may have been in the water and also for possible witnesses who may have seen someone go into the water.

The Dive Team and Coast Guard conducted a grid search of the river and were unable to locate any evidence to substantiate that someone had entered the river or was in distress. Sheboygan Police Officers checked the area for additional witnesses and information but did not find anything that would corroborate the initial call. The search has been called off pending the development of additional information. If there are witnesses who have any additional information, please contact the Sheboygan Police Department at (920)459-3333.

The Sheboygan Police Department continues to focus on reducing accidents through concentrated enforcement of traffic violations as well as educating the public on safe driving behavior.  In order to continue to reach residents of Sheboygan and provide safe driving tips, Kelly the Pug joined the team and a series of educational videos were developed for everyone’s viewing.  Take a moment and watch the featured video then practice what you have learned.  This week Inattentive Driving is featured and we ask that when driving a vehicle that you focus on the road, not distractions.  This includes, but is not limited to, putting away cell phones, reaching for items that are a distance from the driver, and continually focusing on the radio station.  Distractions can be taken care of when you reach your destination safely.  As a community, the number of accidents decreased over the last couple of weeks but we are slightly ahead of last year at this time.  In 2018, we had 484 accidents and presently are at 492 accidents.  Join Kelly the Pug and other members of the community, let’s drive safely and reduce those accident numbers.
