The City of Oconomowoc Police Department, Village of Lac La Belle Police Department, Oconomowoc Lake Police Department, Village of Summit Police Department, and Western Lakes Fire District are sponsoring a Citizens Police Academy. We invite and encourage you to apply to learn more about your local police and fire departments. Please see the attached flyer for additional information.

This course is NOT a certification; rather, it is designed to educate the public as to the day-to-day operations of your local police and fire departments. Some of the course sessions will include interactive hands-on participation. You are not obligated to participate in the physical aspects of the course if you choose not to. This course is an educational, informational perspective of policing, which will allow you to get to know the men and women who serve your communities.

January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month

Human trafficking is not just an international issue. It happens here in Wisconsin and in communities like ours. Every county in the state has seen trafficking-related offenses, and the I-94 corridor between Chicago and Minneapolis is one of the highest traffic areas in the country.

To help raise awareness and provide education, we encourage the public to attend a community
Human Trafficking Awareness Event:
📍 Smoke on the Water – Okauchee, WI
📅 January 18, 2026
⏰ 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM

The event will cover what human trafficking looks like, how to recognize the signs, available resources, and current efforts to combat trafficking locally and statewide.

🎤 Keynote Speaker: Jamie Counsell, forensic nurse examiner and recent TEDx speaker
🎤 Special Guest Speaker: Rep. Barbara Dittrich, member of the Speaker’s Task Force on Human Trafficking

The event is free and open to the public. Donations are welcome and will support local resources assisting victims of human trafficking. Due to the sensitive nature of the topic, attendees under 18 should be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Creating awareness is a critical step in protecting our community.

As we welcome 2026, please remember that although the County and Village Highway Departments are actively maintaining the roads, conditions remain very slippery. If you plan on traveling this evening, slow down and drive with caution.
If you are celebrating the New Year, please do so responsibly and do not drink and drive. Our officers will be out on the roads tonight to help ensure everyone gets home safely.

We wish everyone a safe, healthy, and Happy New Year.
