at home. |

bicyclists so that educational stops can be made to encourage safe
riding habits. Enforcement activity is also made on these patrols. |
Operation Identification |
Citizens can borrow an engraver from the police department
that is to be used to mark personal property with identifying number to
make recovery of the items easier should the item(s) be stolen. |

contact with police officers in a friendly setting by having them
request from the officers a set of Milwaukee Brewers Baseball cards or
Green Bay Packers Football cards, a different set of which is passed out
each week through out the seasons. |
Bicycle Safety Programs |
The department participates in a safety presentation
during a civic group sponsored event of bicycle safety. |

provides high visibility plastic bags to be used on Halloween. The
bags have safety hints imprinted on them. The bags may be passed
