CHIEF'S WELCOME
THE WAUNAKEE POLICE DEPARTMENT
On behalf of the men and women of the Waunakee Police Department, welcome to our website. We hope you find the site informative and interesting. Included below are some facts and figures about our department.
SPENDING ON POLICE SERVICES
Our department prides itself on keeping costs for police services low and solving crimes. Of the 54 communities in Wisconsin with populations between 7,500 and 15,000, Waunakee ranked 53rd in police spending per capita. (*Source Wisconsin Taxpayer's Alliance).
CRIMES SOLVED
Along with our low costs for police service, our department solves far more crimes on average than other law enforcement agencies in Wisconsin. Law Enforcement in Wisconsin, on average, solves approximately 27% of all uniform crimes reported (UCR) to respective departments. The Waunakee Police Department's clearance rate has averaged 46% over the last five years (Source: Office of Justice Assistance.)
OFFICE HOURS
Our business office is generally open:
Monday through Friday, 7am-7pm
Since we only have two office staff, office hours vary. When the office is closed, phone calls are answered by the Dane County Communication Center.
Please feel free to contact any member of this department at any time for assistance.
