New policy in place for Shell Lake police ride-alongs
SHELL LAKE — The Shell Lake City Council got an update on the new policy for police ride-alongs from the General Administration Committee at its meeting Monday, Aug. 12. General Administration (GA) Committee Chair Rob Anderson said Shell Lake Interim Police Chief Mike Jaszcak had asked if the Police Department could conduct ride-alongs. At the GA meeting on Aug. 7, Jaszcak said the benefit outweighs the risk significantly, and adult ride-alongs are not an issue. He said he would do background checks, and the officer providing the ride-along would be off-duty. Jaszcak felt this would be an “outstanding way to promote recruits.”
