Why contract? Contracting provides full service, high-quality law enforcement at a reasonable cost to taxpayers.
Financial Benefit of Contracting to the Village of Eagle With budgets becoming tighter, contracting for law enforcement services has become a great economical value added measure.
Realized Efficiencies- Economies of Scale Gain all the resources of a large and experienced Law Enforcement Agency. Provided with a modern police force beyond what a small local government could afford. Administrative Command Staff, Finance, Human Resources, Clerical, and Training Departments already in place. The municipality only pays a fraction of the full cost because they only pay for the percentage they use.
Reduced Liability All activities are under direct control of an on-duty supervisory and command staff who are accessible to citizens, elected officials and village staff 24 hours a day. Direct supervision impacts effectiveness and reduces exposure to liability concerns. Deputies are relieved of administrative functions, which gives them more time to patrol.
Revenue from Municipal Citations Local communities will retain their portion of revenue brought in by the enforcement of municipal citations. The current municipal court will be used for municipal citations.

We had initial concerns about a loss of control, the effectiveness of a contract, actual cost savings and the level of service. In the end, all of our best expectations we're met. The service level and quality of that service surpassed those of our former department. We continue to experience considerable cost savings and we actually feel we have more control over service levels than we formerly had. I am available to answer any questions or elaborate on our excellent experience with our Sheriff's contract." Scott Klein, Mayor of the City of Pewaukee.
