The Wausau Police Department posted the dashcam footage as well as a security camera angle of the incident, which involved two vehicles.

Grand Chute Police Department first to adopt drones into their new first responder program
GRAND CHUTE, Wis. (WFRV) – The Grand Chute Police Department has added a new fleet to their squad, becoming the state's first Drone as First Responder program (DFR). Early results of the program are positive and have become a key way for the officers to assess a call. Green Bay Police Chief Chris Davis provides details on local immigration enforcement policies 'Not only can we respond quicker, we can provide that information back to the officers to aid in their response,' Captain David Maas said. 'But it also gives the officers more information to act upon when on a call.' Officers must get certification to use the drones. Once certified, officers may fly the drones from the station to see the progress of the call and how many officers will be needed. 'This helps with resource utilization and management. We can use the drone to identify what needs an officer to respond,' Captain Maas said. '[We can determine] how many officers might be required based upon what we see through the drone feed.' After having the drones out and responding to calls, many within the department are reportedly pleased with the early data, seeing fewer officers going out on calls they normally would have without the assistance from drones. Two Rivers K9 helps find suspect of high-speed pursuit that spanned 3 Wisconsin counties 'I was able to utilize the drone to go find that suspicious vehicle, I found that person,' Lieutenant Mike Lichtensteiger said. 'Turns out that person was doing nothing wrong; it prevented an officer's response, so officers didn't even respond to that call.' The department is hoping to add another drone, allowing them to use that one to assist on calls on the south side of the city. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Wisconsin State Troopers team up with kids for 'Cops & Bobbers' event in Marquette County
MARQUETTE CO., MI. (WFRV) – Michigan State Police troopers from the North Central Region joined local youth last week for the annual 'Cops & Bobbers' event, a community outreach program designed to foster positive relationships between law enforcement and children, while encouraging a love for fishing over crime. Green Bay Police Chief Chris Davis provides details on local immigration enforcement policies According to a Facebook post from Wisconsin State Patrol, the event featured a day of casting lines, reeling in fish, and sharing laughs. Organizers say the goal is to get kids 'hooked' on fishing instead of drugs or delinquency. After what troopers jokingly called a 'reely good steak-out,' participants found a prime fishing spot that led to plenty of smiles and big catches. 'Cops & Bobbers' is part of a statewide initiative to build trust and create lasting memories with local youth. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
