It was a busy day for Shawano Police on May 21st, with officers responding to a wide variety of calls across the city.
The morning began with a welfare check at a residence on South Lutz Street after a Lifeline fall alert triggered no contact. Officers quickly accessed the home via a lockbox and found everything in order.
Just after 7:30 a.m., police were called to Shawano Community High School, where students set up tents blocking driveways near the stadium. The situation was resolved without incident. A short time later, the school again requested assistance—this time for a drug-related offense.
Another juvenile issue unfolded mid-morning at Olga Brener School, with officers responding to a student causing a disturbance. That case was quickly brought under control.
Meanwhile, a resident on Mulberry Court reported suspicious phone calls that left them feeling threatened. Officers documented the incident and are following up.

Later in the evening, a welfare check on Engel Drive was prompted by concerns that a man was threatening to harm himself. Police were able to make contact and ensure the individual’s safety.
Shawano officers also handled a recovered bike, vehicle lockouts, and a reckless driving complaint near Kwik Trip on East Green Bay Street after midnight.
