Door County Question/ Help Please (Madison, Superior: crime, living in, safety)

[brandon.jakubik]

I am a current student in Madison, Wi, with about a year left before I graduate with my Bachelors In Homeland Security and Public Safety.

I am wondering what cities/ towns/ villages in Door County have police departments.

I looked and checked out the Door County Sheriff Department, but I'm trying to find other police departments within Door County/ Washington Island.

Its just to give me some ideas, I am a big city (action, drugs, foot chases) type guy but would like to seek what door county has to offer, been there a few times.

With me living in Madison, Wi (Sun Prairie) I am looking at City of Madison, Town Of Madison, Fitchburg, UW-Madison PD's

But just wanted to see what pd's are located in Door County

THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!

The only one I know about is Sturgeon Bay. My uncle is a sheriff. It seems his responsiblity includes the entire penninsula. It's a good place to start, anyway.

We were in Door County last week . I do think the headquarters are in Sturgeon Bay. I love Door County. We are so lucky to live so close to so many beautiful areas. We had so much fun hiking in the parks. The scenery is so gorgeous. I am always torn between what is more impressive Door County or Lake Superior. We have travelled all over the US and I can't think of many places that come close to the beauty of Door County or Lake Superior.

If you are used to the bigger city atmosphere for police work, I would recommend that you stick with that as opposed to seeking a small town. My husband thought the big city police life got to be too much and obtained a position in a very small town. It was the biggest mistake of his life. Since there is often not much happening in a smaller town, it leaves a lot of opportunity for office politicing if you know what I mean. Good luck to you in whatever decision you make!

If You like BIG CITY ACTION ------ like pursuits, drug busts, shootouts, bank robberies.....that kind of thing---I think you may be barking up the wrong tree (Door County Wisconsin)!! I would suggest Las Vegas Nevada, where my niece's husband is a Metro Cop. NON-STOP ACTION---24/7

From what I understand, the penninsula has plenty of action nowadays. So many visit from highly urban areas. I hate to be "that way", but I've heard it from the horse's mouth.

So in other words--if you come from a "Urban" area--the crime comes along for the ride????? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
