OTWP Constables and the Community

This year Osceola Township Water Patrol and Constables had to replace their A.E.D. unit with a new unit. The old unit was no longer up to the American Heart Association standards. Thanks to donations from Long Lake Fishing Club, Long Lake Lions, Crooked Trails Snow Mobile, and a possible donation from Dundee sportsmans Club the A.E. D. was purchased with little cost to the Township. Below is the check presentations to the Chief of the Department.

Just recently Osceola Township Constables assisted in the Extreme build for a deserving family in the Township. The family of Matt Koepke who has recently passed away from cancer, was awoken one morning to the sounds of Ty Penington and the EXTREME MAKEOVER Home edition crew saying good morning Koepke family. The family was chosen to receive a makeover of their home, and a vacation away while the renovations were completed.

Community Organizations:
Throught out the years many local organizations contributed to the purchase or donation of special equipment such as an Automated External Defibulator (A.E.D.) which was used in the 2005 season to safe a gentleman's life.
Also contributed was a 16 channel motorola CT450 Radio, which is used by patrol officers while away from the radio on the patrol boat, or on a personal water craft.
Also some Organizations assist in a D.N.R. Boating Safety Course held by the department every year.
Donations have been also given to the department such as letter for the personal water Craft and Culvers tokens for the life jacket safety program.
Osceola Township Officers also assisted in the Fond du lac County Taser Fund, to earn money to purchase X-26 Tasers for the Law Enforcement Agencies in all of Fond du lac County, which thanks to many people and companies in the area was accomplished.

Osceola Water Patrol Officers and Constables also assist other agencies when the help is needed, as pictured at the top of this page, Brownsville had the Vietnam Traveling Wall in 2005 and Chief Michael Samens and Officer Douglas Samens assisted in traffic control and other calls as needed to help Chief Richard Dehnel and the Brownsville community.
Also for the last 3 years Osceola Township Officers have covered patrols as Security for the Long Lake Fishing Club event Dundee Dazes, which is held at the Dundee Sportsmans Club.

Community Relations is an important part of Law Enforcement, not only do the officers effect the community, but the community effects the officers. For example many volunteers assist the Water Patrol every year in the putting in and taking out of the lake buoys.

This is your lake keep it safe, keep it clean
