Neighborhood Police Liaison
The Fort Atkinson Police Department has created a program called Neighborhood Police Liaison. As a part of this Neighborhood Liaison program, police officers are assigned to specific neighborhoods, so they can work with community members and business owners, to collaboratively address crimes and other community issues in an effort to build and sustain our great city. This program is meant to complement our agency’s
Mission:To professionally and effectively work in partnership with our community to protect life, property and order.
&Vision:Wisconsin’s Safest City!
Neighborhood Police Liaison Officers will be available to:
- Work collaboratively with community members and businesses to address crime and other neighborhood problems
- Answer questions
- Work with other City agencies/departments to address crimes and other issues that are negatively impacting a neighborhood or specific location
- Assist by providing crime prevention related public education
- When available, attend specific neighborhood meetings and other events
- Proactively address and resolve nuisance related issues (Nuisance Abatement Actions)
- Track crimes and other problems in their Neighborhood Policing Area
Remember, if you have been a victim of a crime, see a crime in progress or want to report suspicious activity call Fort Atkinson Police Department without delay at 920-397-9905 or in the event of an emergency dial 9-1-1. Do not attempt to contact your Neighborhood Police Officer to address in-progress crimes or a call for service that should be addressed right when you call. Due to training, scheduling or current pending priority calls for service it could take several days for your Neighborhood Police Officer to respond to your e-mail or voicemail. If you have not received a response in a reasonable amount of time you can call directly to our agency and request your Neighborhood Liaison Officer or contact with a supervisor that can help bridge the gap.
