SPD Roll Call
The Sheboygan Police Department is pleased to announce the area’s first podcast for citizens, SPD Roll Call. The members of the Sheboygan Police Department are continually striving to pass information along to citizens, both in the city of Sheboygan and beyond. With the increasing use of electronic media, the department wants to maximize the opportunities it provides for sharing crime and safety information with the community.
Earlier in 2012, Officer Matthew Friedl had the idea of creating recorded audio files – podcasts – available through the department’s website for citizens to download and listen at their convenience as a way to stay in touch with the public.
Just as each officer receives “roll call” at the beginning of their shift, the SPD Roll Call podcasts involve officers meeting on a regular basis to discuss topics on crime trends, community information, crime prevention tips, as well as resources for citizens.
