Happy Podcast Friday! Our uniformed patrol officers do an awesome job responding to approximately 40,000 service calls each year. But what happens when a case requires further follow-up and specialized training to see it through? In this episode, Capt. Nathan Cihlar speaks with Detectives Jim Martin & Nick Walters about their careers. Find out how their paths led to the Investigations Bureau, what challenges they can face when digging deep into a complex incident, and what keeps them motivated to see a case to conclusion.

Happy Podcast Friday! The main ingredients that make the Wausau Police Department effective and an awesome place to work are the people that work here. In this episode, we were able to catch up with Officer Claire Ostrowski to learn more about her. Although she was hired in 2020, Officer Ostrowski came to Wausau PD with several years of experience from another agency. An instructor, trainer, and all-around solid patrol officer, Officer Ostrowski has been a great addition to our department and community.

Two weeks ago, we were scheduled to sit down with a couple of School Resource Officers (SROs) and our newest therapy dog, but we had to reschedule. Well, this week came through and Lt. Pauls caught up with Officer Koua Thao and Officer Nick Stetzer w/ his new K9 partner, Timber. They talked about the work an SRO does in the schools, and the inception & development of the therapy dog program. Enjoy!
