Police say a woman's plan to get out of a bigger ticket by using her friend's license backfired when the friend got notice of the speeding ticket handed out on Halloween.
A woman whose license was revoked for driving drunk got into more trouble when police say she used her friend's license instead of her own during a traffic stop. Samantha Kitzerow, 23, of West Milwaukee, is charged with obstructing an officer and operating a motor vehicle with a revoked license. The charges stem from an Oct. 31 traffic stop, when a Greendale officer stopped a woman driving a vehicle at 45 mph in a posted 25 mph zone. The criminal complaint states he issued a speeding ticket in the name of the woman on the ID the driver handed over. But on Feb. 7, according to the criminal complaint, a woman called Greendale police saying she believed a friend had taken her driver's license, and managed to rack up several tickets—…

Blogger Jazon Patzfahl is looking for police departments and businesses to help coordinate an event where people can turn in guns to authorities.
Blogger Jason Patzfahl is attempting to organize "A Day To Turn In Your Gun" event, in which residents can turn in firearms to a police department with no questions asked. He first reached out to Greendale Chief Robert Malasuk asking for the department's participation. The chief declined the offer due to the political implications, Malasuk told Patch. Patzfahl recently wrote a blog about his stance against guns and his personal experience losing a co-worker in a shooting. "If you own a gun, especially a semi-automatic weapon, hand it in to the local police," Patzfahl wrote in the blog. "They are the only ones who should have these killing machines in the first place." Even though he wanted to keep it local in Greendale, Patzfahl plans to …

Parents, schools and community members are in shock as they see news reports coming in from Connecticut, where a man in his 20s gunned down 27 people at an elementary school. Eighteen children waved goodbye to their parents at the start of the school day.

Greendale has 1.98 officers for every 1,000 people living in the community. Use this searchable database on Patch to see how this compares with others around the state.
When it comes to how many police officers a community should have, is there a right number? There are no federal or state — or even local — mandates for how many officers provide optimal protection and service. The International Association of Chiefs of Police in a recent patrol staffing and deployment study states plainly: "Ready-made, universally applicable patrol staffing standards do not exist. Ratios, such as officers-per-thousand population, are totally inappropriate as a basis for staffing decisions." Instead, the study says needs should be determined by a number of different factors, including: Use this searchable database on Patch to find the different populations of municipalities across Wisconsin and see how your town ranks …
