Reach A Child has been a wonderful partner to the Edgerton Police Department, providing our Officers with a variety of books to share with children throughout our community.

These books give our Officers another opportunity to connect with kids in a positive way and help build relationships. This helps the Officers go well beyond our traditional role in public safety. Something as simple as handing a child a book can make a lasting positive impression.

We truly appreciate Reach A Child for their generosity, thoughtfulness, and continued support of the Edgerton Police Department and the children we serve. Partnerships like this are what continue to make a community strong!

Thank you, Reach A Child, for helping our Officers make that difference one book and one child at a time!

REACH-A-Child was recently honored to provide four REACH BAG Refills and dozens of additional children’s books to the Edgerton Police Department.

All of these resources were funded by a very generous grant from the Community Foundation of Southern Wisconsin.

Thank you CFSW and Chief Kowaski! And a special thanks to Chief Kowalski for your 46 years in law enforcement!!!

On 08-17-2026, we received a report of a retail theft from Deegan’s Hardware. We are sharing this post in hopes to identify a location of our suspect. A presumptive Identification of the suspect has been made, but to ensure the integrity of the investigation, and to continue moving it in a positive direction with the evidence we have already collected, we must keep that information concealed for the time being.

Using agencies in our surrounding area, including interstate camera footage, we suspect their whereabouts are in the Madison area.

Any information regarding a possible location of this suspect can be reported to the Rock County Non-Emergency Line 608-757-2244, referencing case number ED2608955.
