We are gearing up for the Labor Day Parade which begins at 10:00AM. Officers are clearing the route of parked vehicles and traffic controls will soon be lifted into place. There will be horses in this parade and they do not respond well to drone activity at times. For the safety of their riders and bystanders, refrain from flying drones over the parade. Let's be considerate of the safety of others and have a great parade experience. Be safe Merrill and we will see you out there!

Pfft-Donuts secure!

A big thank you to Dunkin Donuts for their support of the Special Olympics with their Cops on a Roof event today. Thank you to our officers for spending their time on the roof. Most didn’t even have to work today. We appreciate your commitment!

What a great day fishing with a special group of people! Thanks as always to Little Lakes Memories, Silver Moon Springs, Merrill Park and Rec, and employees (current and retired) of the Merrill PD. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 # of trout came back home today after maybe only 2 hours of fishing. I think we know what’s for dinner!

Tomorrow is the day! We would love to see you at Culvers!

You have the right to a great lunch
Anything you order can and will be made fresh
You have the right to fries
If you do not order fries, some will be offered to you
You have the right to fresh frozen custard
And remember that your meal today will help someone in need in our community
Do you understand your Culver’s rights?

During National Police Week, May 15th is designated as National Peace Officers Memorial Day. Signed into law in 1962 by President John F. Kennedy, it serves as a lasting tribute to the Peace Officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

Captain Elmer Krueger was shot in the line of duty on July 12th 1952 and succumbed to his injuries on July 19th, 1952. Captain Krueger remains the only Officer from the Merrill Police Department to have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

Please take a moment today to remember the sacrifice that Captain Krueger and all of the law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty have made.
