The employees of the Minocqua Police Department are committed to providing the highest possible level of police service to our community. The mission of the Minocqua Police Department is to "enhance the quality of life in the community through our service to the public, protection of persons and property, impartial enforcement of the law, and partnership with the community."
We accomplish this mission by departing from a traditional incident-driven approach to policing and implementing a results-oriented systemic approach to the many problems that allow crime and disorder to exist and to grow. To this end, we have embraced a philosophy of policing known as Problem-Oriented Policing. Problem-Oriented Policing is an interactive process between police officers who work for the Minocqua Police Department and the citizens who either reside, visit or work in the Town of Minocqua, to mutually develop ways to identify problems and concerns and then respond to these problems utilizing a wide range of methods and resources available from the police department, other government entities, or the community itself. Our overall goal is to create a cooperative relationship between the police and residents to identify problems that impact the quality of life, to devise strategies to address those problems, and to work together to solve them.
