Highland Police Department

Highland Police Department The Highland Police Department practices community policing in this small village of 842. Chief of Police Daniel Swinehart is the lead hunter safety instructor.

Chief of Police Daniel Swinehart along with Officer Michael Havlik and Officer Ryan Kumor and reserve Officer Brent Harris make up the police department. We practice community policing with some of the events we sponsor listed here. He is assisted by four volunteer instructors with various skills and knowledge that enjoy teaching hunter safety. The department is also involved with bike safety at t

he Highland Elementary School. We teach basic bike riding skills from grades k to 4th. Each year the department sponsors a bike ride from the Village of Barneveld to the Village of Mound Horeb. We take the 5th grade class on a 18 mile bike ride on the Military Ridge State Bike trail to promote exercise and bike riding and making the right decisions in life. The DARE program is taught to 5th graders. Iowa County Sheriff's office administers the DARE Program that the police department supports. The 5th graders will learn about drugs, alcohol, and violence and how important it is to make good decisions. After graduating from the program the kids will understand that there are other alternatives than drugs, alcohol and violence. For example bike riding, skiing, swimming, and hunting.

On May 12, 2026, Highland EMS members assisted the police department with teaching bike safety at the Highland Elementary School. These are some of the nice thank you letters from the first graders. I want to thank the school for allowing us to continue to come to the school and teach bike safety all these years. Thank you to the five EMTs that helped this year (Tammy, Alissa, Clarissa, and Harleigh), and to Barb who sets up my times every year.

One of my first major calls in Highland was with Lana. I assisted her on a domestic disturbance out in the county that went very sideways. I have worked many calls for service with Lana since I started a year after she did working in Avoca and now Highland. She was always my go to detective if I had a question on a case. Lana will be very missed among law enforcement. Congratulations Lana in your retirement.

MAY 27, 2026 ended another year of bike safety for the Highland Elementary kids. We took the 5th graders on our annual DARE bike ride. KIDS did great again. Shout out to DARE OFFICER/DEPUTY MICHAEL HAVLIK for coming to the park and sending us off. He was not able to ride this year, but he was able to make a couple appearances.

Some great people here.

Some great people here.

It’s EMS week! Giving a HUGE SHOUTOUT to our wonderful group here in Highland. We appreciate each and every one of you that make up our team.

We have many ‘seasoned’ professionals as well as a super group of newbies that are jumping right in every chance they get and always looking to add more to our group!

Highland EMS was started back in 1972 with 13 members taking the class. We have had many members since that time-your dedication and time volunteered for your community is a wonderful reminder that GREAT THINGS HAPPEN when we all work together for good of the community. ♥️

Just a reminder! The village does not participate in NO MOW MAY. Please keep your yards mowed. Also those grass clippings don't belong on the road or in storm sewers.

A LITTLE SHOUT OUT TO OUR STREET CREW. On Tuesday April 14, 2026, the village's street crew was out hard at work cleaning up the debris from the early morning storm. Kennedy Street and Delaney Street both were completely closed for 4 hours due to trees across the road. The street crew did an amazing job cleaning the trees up in less than an hour, opening up both streets. The Highland Police Department would like to thank the street department for getting the streets cleaned up after noticing the streets were blocked off.

We did make contact with several residents regarding the damage. If you do have damage on your residence, and were not contacted by the Highland Police Department or the Iowa County Emergency Management Team, please contact the police department. The residents that could be affected by the early Tuesday morning storms would be on East Circle Drive, Cardinal Drive, Industrial Drive, Valley Street, East Dodgeville Street, Delaney Street, and Kennedy Street. Please contact the Highland Police Department with any questions: 608 574-4615.
