More power coming to deputies’ squads
A few Shawano County sheriff’s deputies will have a more powerful squad car next year.
The public safety committee agreed Oct. 7 to purchase five new vehicles in 2027. All will be Dodge Durangos, but three will have V6 engines and two will have V8 engines.
Lt. Jon Blaskowski, the department’s fleet manager, said the budget for replacing vehicles in 2027 is $215,000, with another $60,000 earmarked for equipment.
