Police Department Update - National Night Out: |
|
The Whitefish Bay Police Department will be participating in National Night Out this year on August 3, 2021, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., at Brown Deer Village Park.
National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community. Furthermore, it provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.
Millions of neighbors take part in National Night Out across thousands of communities from all fifty states, U.S. territories and military bases worldwide on the first Tuesday in August (Texas and select areas celebrate on the first Tuesday in October). Neighborhoods host block parties, festivals, parades, cookouts and various other community events with safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, visits from emergency personnel, exhibits and much, much more.
At our local event, we will have squads on display, K9 demos, Drone demos, an NSFD demo, a karate demo, a dunk tank and some food vendors. Our department will have a squad available for kids/adults to look at and will have an officer there to talk with community members and play games with kids. Admission is free.

North Shore Health Department Highlights 07/20/2021 - VACCINATION RECORDS: DO YOU KNOW HOW TO ACCESS YOUR VACCINATION RECORD?
COVID-19 vaccination cards contain the information needed to provide proof of vaccination. If the card is lost or additional vaccine history access is needed, the Wisconsin Immunization Registry, or WIR, is an alternative solution.
Vaccination card: Your vaccination card has information on when and where you received your vaccine as well as other helpful information related to the COVID-19 vaccine.
- Keep your card in a safe place!
- Take picture of your card with your phone so you always have the information with you.
- When taking pictures or posting selfies about getting your COVID-19 vaccine, do not post photos of your vaccination card online to protect your health information.
- Do not laminate your vaccination card.
If you lose your COVID-19 vaccination card: The Department of Health Services (DHS) cannot issue replacement COVID-19 vaccination cards. To access vaccine information:
- Vaccinated in Wisconsin: If you received your vaccination in Wisconsin, access your entire vaccination record using the Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR).
- If you have a social security number, Medicaid ID, or Health Care Member ID, you can access your record through the Public Immunization Record Access webpage
- If you do not have one of these numbers, you can access your record one of two ways:
- Option 1: Fill out the Wisconsin Immunization Registry Record Release Authorization, F-02487 and have your records sent to you.
- Option 2: Ask the organization that vaccinated you to assign you a chart number in WIR. The chart number field is linked to the Health Care Member ID.
- Then, visit the Public Immunization Record Access webpage and enter the chart number assigned to you in the Health Care Member ID field.
- Vaccinated out of state: If you received your vaccination in another state, visit that state’s department of health website to search their vaccine registry
