Village of Pulaski - Village of Pulaski Police Services

On behalf of the Pulaski Police Department and the community we serve, I want to welcome you to our website. The purpose of this website is to inform and educate the community regarding various

programs, activities, crime prevention measures, and new laws and regulations. I strongly believe that an informed community is a safer community because an informed citizen has their finger on the pulse of the community and can take measures to prevent being a victim to crime. An informed citizen will more easily recognize illegal or suspicious activity. To that end, we encourage you to call upon us and contact us if we can be of assistance in any way.

The men and women of the Pulaski Police Department are proud of their heritage and service to the citizens of Pulaski. This website should serve as one more opportunity that we can utilize to communicate with you, the public, to enhance your quality of life and assist you in protecting and educating yourself and family members.

Please do not hesitate to contact me, or any member of this department, with questions or concerns. We are here to serve you and we do it with pride. God Bless.

The Pulaski Police Department will endeavor to uphold the heritage of this rural community which is the cornerstone that makes Pulaski unique. We will strive to provide superior service to citizens and residents through professionalism, fairness, and integrity. We will protect life and property, deter and apprehend violators and provide public education. We will do our utmost to enhance the quality of life in Pulaski by creating partnerships within the community to proactively problem-solve issues that face our residents, businesses and civic leaders.

The marijuana pot bowl bracelets are easy to make and found all across central Florida. School officials in both private and public schools were warned about the marijuana bracelets and students. We now know that these have been seen in Eau Claire. We are making our staff aware of this item and to keep a look out for it (visits, property, etc.).

The Pulaski Police Department and Tri-County Fire Department is currently updating their Emergency Contacts List for all the businesses located within the village. It is their desire to meet the needs of every business within the jurisdiction and have up to date information in the event that they need to contact you after hours. Please take a moment and review the 911 Contact form in the left margin under forms. Please feel free to contact either department with any concerns, needs or if there is anything they can do for you in the future.

Pulaski Police Department’s Narcotic Canine, RAIDER, is now safer while he works to rid our community of drugs thanks to a donation provided by a Fox Valley resident. Erica Alderson, of Appleton, donated a bullet and stab resistant vest specifically designed for police canine.

Erica donated the entire $850.00 for the protective vest and requested specifically that the canine body armor go to Raider in Pulaski. Erica stated that she remembers the sick feeling she got while watching news reports about the recent shooting tragedy in Fond du Lac. An officer investigating a sexual assault complaint was severely injured when he was shot and his K-9 partner was shot while sitting in the backseat of his squad car parked outside. An officer responding to assist the injured officer was fatally shot when he exited his squad car. Erica said she learned about the Wisconsin Vest-A-Dog Program and knew she had to donate to the program when she went to the Web-site and saw a picture of Raider. “I knew that was the dog I wanted a vest to go to” said Erica. “I have a relative with a similar dog, and Raider just touched me in special way.”

Raider’s Handler, Officer Jim Tinlin, said that originally they had not considered a vest for Raider because he is specifically a Narcotics dog. Officers always make sure the scene is safe before allowing Raider in to work it. After the Fond du Lac incident in which police canine, Grendel, was shot while just sitting in the squad car forced the police department to reconsider those views and assumptions. “I am extremely grateful to Ms. Alderson for her willingness to come forward and donate the money for Raiders body armor”, Officer Tinlin said. Officer Tinlin and Raider had the opportunity recently to meet Erica and say thank you in person.

Raider has been with the Police Department for two years. Raider was brought to Pulaski through the efforts of a fund drive organized through the Pulaski Community School District. Donations for the “Raider K-9 Fund” are appreciated and accepted through the PACE Program.

To learn more about the Wisconsin-Vest-A-Dog Program, visit the website at http://www.wivestadog.org/ and consider donating to this excellent program.

Pulaski Police Department and State Farm Insurance would like to thank everyone who helped out with the 2011 Bike Rodeo. Between donating money, time and supplies, the bike rodeo was a huge success. It is with our greatest appreciation to everyone that we want to give you a big THANK YOU!

BayTek Games Donates to Pulaski Police Department

The Pulaski Police Department wishes to thank Bay Tek Games for their generous donation of $2500.00 to the police department to be used for safety equipment for our officers. Larry Treankler contacted us shortly after the tragedy in Fond du Lac where an Officer was gunned down responding to a “shots fired officer down” call. The initial officer responded to a sexual assault complaint at approximately 6:30 am and had no idea that the assailant was still in the home. The Officer was wounded and the assailant fired two rounds into the rear door of his K-9 squad, with a high powered rifle, injuring the police patrol dog. Officer Craig Birkholtz was responding to assist and was gunned down as he exited his squad in a parking lot across the street. On a plaque presented to the officers it reads:

“Bay Tek Games appreciates the Pulaski Police Officers and their families for their commitment and sacrifice to our community”

We have already started the training process of trying to learn from this tragic event. Many of you might have recently seen the Multi-Jurisdictional armored S.W.A.T. vehicle in the driveway of the police department last Monday. Officers reviewed abilities of the vehicle and how we can utilize it in ways to keep our officers safe in a variety of different scenarios. We plan on using the grant from Bay Tek Games to enhance our weapons training and add to our ballistic equipment.

Once again we thank you Bay Tek Games for your commitment to Pulaski by your financial support to help us do a better job of protecting the citizens we serve. We also thank you for your public support of the officers that serve in this community every day. Pulaski can be very proud of the men and women that work on their police force and wear the uniform representing this Village. We have our motto on the side of our squads which state: “Serving our Community with Pride”, I know that every officer here wants to do their very best at making Pulaski a safe community and a great place to live and work. Please continue to pray for the men and women who are on the front line and called upon to confront the ugly evil that creeps into our society.

MCL Industries Inc. and Baytek Games Inc. have graciously donated a Med Return Box to Pulaski’s Police Department for the purpose of keeping our Pulaski Village Residents safe from unused drugs. “The Med Return Box contents will be taken to Brown County to be incinerated,” said Pulaski Police Chief Dunford.

Residents can drop off old medications such as prescriptions, over the counter medications, vitamins, samples, medications for pets, ointments, lotions, liquid medications in glass or leak proof containers. The medications that are not accepted are needles (sharps), thermometers, bloody or infectious waste, medications from businesses or clinics, hydrogen peroxide, aerosol cans, and inhalers.
Allen Buchholz with Med Return, built the Med Return Box. Pulaski was one of the first to get a design put on the box. “Smaller towns are starting to get Med Return Boxes to help deal with expired medications,” said Buchholz.

Gary Lofquist with MCL Industries Inc. thought of the idea when he found old pet medications and didn’t know what to do with them. Mr. Lofquist knew flushing medications down the drain would be unsafe. Proper disposal of medications are important to the environment, pets, wildlife, and our children.

We encourage you to use the Med Return Box. It is located at the Pulaski Village Hall 421 S. St. Augustine Street, Pulaski.
