Sun Prairie Police Department

Each week, the Sun Prairie Police Department will share a snapshot of the calls for service and incidents our officers responded to in the community. This blotter provides an overview of arrests, investigations, and other noteworthy activity, but it does not include every call we handle. Our officers respond to hundreds of service requests each week—ranging from emergencies to routine assistance—and this summary is meant to give the public a sense of the variety of situations we encounter. By sharing these updates, we hope to keep our community informed, highlight the work being done each day, and strengthen the partnership between our department and the residents we serve.

On Thursday, 05/28, the Sun Prairie Police Department’s Chief of Police Advisory Board (CAB) met for its monthly meeting, bringing together community members and department leadership to continue important conversations focused on public safety, partnerships, and strengthening our community relationships.

While the CAB plays an important role in providing feedback, perspectives, and collaboration to help guide community policing efforts in Sun Prairie, there is no question that the highlight of the evening was K9 Eragon.

Sgt. Jason Lingle and Eragon joined the meeting to share more about the Sun Prairie Police Department’s K9 Program, and the important role police service dogs play in protecting our community. From tracking suspects and locating evidence to assisting in high-risk situations and helping keep officers and residents safe, the K9 Program is a valuable resource and critical tool for the department.

Eragon quickly won over the room with his energy, discipline, and personality. Board members had the opportunity to learn about his training, daily responsibilities, and the strong bond he shares with Sgt. Lingle. Of course, Eragon also enjoyed some well-earned attention, showing off his favorite toy and making new friends along the way.

The Sun Prairie Police Department is proud of the work our K9 teams do each day to serve and protect the community. Eragon is not only an incredible asset to the department, but also a great ambassador for building positive relationships and connections with the people we serve.
