Each week, the Sun Prairie Police Department will share a snapshot of the calls for service and incidents our officers responded to in the community. This blotter provides an overview of arrests, investigations, and other noteworthy activity, but it does not include every call we handle. Our officers respond to hundreds of service requests each week—ranging from emergencies to routine assistance—and this summary is meant to give the public a sense of the variety of situations we encounter. By sharing these updates, we hope to keep our community informed, highlight the work being done each day, and strengthen the partnership between our department and the residents we serve.

On 05/31, at approximately 7:45pm, officers were patrolling when they came across a suspicious vehicle located at Sheehan Park. Contact was made with the vehicle, and officers detected an odor of Ma*****na, leading to a search of the vehicle. The search led to three handguns with extended magazines, ammunition, and Ma*****na being located. Upon conducting further investigation, all three occupants were arrested.

🚓 Click It or Ticket Results Are In! 🚓

During the recent 14-day Click It or Ticket enforcement campaign, Sun Prairie Police officers conducted 127 traffic stops to help keep our roadways safe. The good news? Officers encountered only 3 safety belt violations, showing that most drivers are making seat belt use a priority.

In addition to seat belt enforcement, officers issued citations for a variety of traffic violations (see graphic below), made 1 felony arrest and 1 misdemeanor arrest, and issued 111 written warnings.

While the Click It or Ticket campaign may be over, traffic safety remains a year-round focus. Every stop, warning, and citation is part of an ongoing effort to reduce crashes and keep our community safe.

Remember: Buckle up, put distractions away, obey traffic laws, and help make our roads safer for everyone.
