🐾🎉 Big congratulations to Leo! 🎉🐾

Leo has officially passed his AKC STAR Puppy Test! ⭐ This was his very first test, and he did an amazing job showing off the skills, focus, and good manners he's been working so hard to learn.

Passing the STAR Puppy Test is an exciting milestone, but Leo isn't stopping here—he's already moving on to the next level of therapy dog training. With three more tests ahead, this is just the beginning of his journey!

We're so proud of everything he's accomplished so far and can't wait to see what he achieves next. Keep up the great work, Leo! 🐶💙

Memorial Day weekend can be an especially dangerous time on Wisconsin’s roads. From May 18-31, law enforcement officers keep an eye out for unbuckled motorists – not to simply write tickets, but to prevent needless tragedies.

E-Bike Safety

As the weather warms, we have seen an increase in the use of electric bicycles (e-bikes) across the county. However, under Wisconsin law, certain requirements need to be met to be declared an e-bike. Some of these vehicles are actually electric dirt bikes and are classified as Off-Highway Motorcycles (OHMs or E-motos) not bicycles.
Under Wisconsin law, an electric bicycle (e-bike) must:
Have fully operational pedals capable of being powered by human effort
Have an electric motor of 750 watts or less
Fall into one of the following classifications:
🔹Class 1 E-Bike
• Pedal-assist only
• Motor assistance stops at 20 mph
• No throttle
🔹 Class 2 E-Bike
• Throttle-assisted (can operate with or without pedaling)
• Motor assistance stops at 20 mph
🔹 Class 3 E-Bike
• Pedal-assist only
• Motor assistance stops at 28 mph
• No person under the age of 16 may operate a Class 3 E-bike
No pedals = NOT an e-bike under Wisconsin law.
Many electric dirt bikes are classified as Off-Highway Motorcycles (OHMs) and are regulated differently under Wisconsin law through the Wisconsin DNR. This includes rules on where they can be operated, rider age requirements, and registration. Unlike traditional e-bikes, many of these electric dirt bikes weigh over 100 pounds and can reach speeds exceeding 65 mph.
As we continue into the summer months, deputies will be out promoting safe riding and educating riders on the law. Violations may result in warnings, citations, or other enforcement action when appropriate.
If you are unsure how your electric bike is classified, please contact your local law enforcement agency or the Wisconsin DNR.

Mequon officers and several community members were in attendance to observe and pay respects. A special thank you to Greater Milwaukee Fire and Police Pipes and Drums and our midnight piper for continuing this deeply meaningful tradition. Greater Milwaukee Fire and Police Pipes and Drums
