A new Slinger police station

The Slinger Police Department has moved. They are now located at 800 Enterprise Drive, in Slinger.

Slinger Police Chief Kyle Arendt told WTKM that the new location will improve response times. 

"It will give us more of an opportunity for growth in the future, but also gives us a little more comfortable quarters for doing our job that we do every day. Having specialty rooms and having dedicated spaces for things that are important, especially being right off of Highway 60. We will still have the same patrol area, downtown will still be patrolled on a daily basis. The new location gives us multiple avenues out, in case there is an accident somewhere that we need to access from a different point."

They are still navigating the transition to the new building.

Their medication drop box is still located at 300 Slinger Road. If the location of the drop box changes, it will be announced.

The Village of Slinger constructed a new, 27,000-square-foot police station on Enterprise Drive. It’s a $15.5 million project, which will replace the current facility.

The Slinger Police Department operated out of the same  building as Slinger Village Hall. The facility houses administrative offices on one side and the police department on the other. Staffing levels have increased to keep up with population growth.

The Slinger Village Board decided on a new, standalone facility rather than expanding the existing building.
