A NOTE FROM THE WAUKESHA COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
-
Addresses, Addresses, Addresses….. Please make sure your
address is clearly posted on your property near the roadway. More and more
addresses are not being taken care of and it is making it difficult for the
Sheriff’s Department and the Big Bend/Vernon Fire Department from finding your
home in an emergency. Please make sure your property is clearly marked. Time
matters in an emergency and spending it looking for an address is not good for
the community.
-
Warm weather is on the way and we ask that you please make
sure your vehicles are secure at all times if it is not in your garage.
Thieves will walk around subdivisions and lift car handles to see if they are
open and then remove items from them if they are left open. They like to take
laptops, M3 players, CD’s, change and anything else that you may be tempting
to a crook. If your vehicle is parked outside, leave an outside light on. The
better lighted your outside property is, the less chance you will become a
victim.
-
Please Slow Down in school zones and stop for buses that have
their flashing red lights on. The Sheriff’s Department will write a citation
to people who fail to stop for school buses that are loading and unloading
children. We take the safety of our children very seriously.
-
Spring and summer brings out the ATV’s. Please remember that
it is illegal to drive your ATV on any roadway in the Town of Vernon. We also
receive several complaints on a yearly basis about noise from the ATV’s. The
Town Ordinance does state the following:
-
Off-the-road vehicles. It shall be unlawful for any person to
operate within the Town limits of the Town of Vernon any off-the-road vehicle
unless authorized by this section. Off-the-road vehicles may be operated on
premises owned by the operator or by a member of the operator's family if the
operator resides on the premises where the vehicle is being operated, or on
the private property of another with the consent of the owner or lessee, as
follows: Between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. or dusk, inclusive.
In such a manner that the noise from the operation of the vehicle does not
cause a nuisance, disturbance or annoyance to the persons residing near said
operation. In such a manner so as not to endanger the person or
property of another.
-
The Town of Vernon also has a noise ordinance to go along
with the above ordinance, please feel free to review it at the Town of Vernon
Web Site. Please be considerate of your neighbors.
-
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to
contact us at (262)548-7122 or contact your Town Supervisors and they will
pass it on to us. With your help, we will continue to keep the Town of Vernon
a safe place to live.
