Police Department

 

The Portage Police Department strives to be as open and approachable as possible. We always have a supervisor (Lieutenant or Sergeant) on duty 24 hours a day. Citizens are encouraged to call us 24 hours a day at (608) 742-2171 if they have a problem or they see a crime being committed. (If they have a special concern, they can ask to talk to the supervisor on duty.) If someone wants to talk to the chief or any of his staff during normal business hours, we can be reached by phone at 608-742-2174 or you can email chief at: keith.klafke@portagewi.gov
