To call the police locally, dial 911 for emergencies or 397-8100 for non-emergencies. All calls are answered by the Brown County Regional Dispatch Center in Aberdeen and then forwarded to the officer on duty. The crime stoppers hotline is 397-4500.
In addition Nehls and Radke are D.A.R.E. officers in the Groton Public School System. DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education)
