Police say a 16-year-old girl and her 33-year-old cousin tried to make off with $280 in groceries before a store employee and Captain Michael Brunner stepped in.
A 16-year-old girl and her 33-year-old cousin, both from Milwaukee, found out Thursday that an off-duty police officer is never quite off-duty. While shopping at Pick 'n Save, 4279 S. 76th St., at approximately 1:45 p.m. Thursday, Greenfield Police Department Captain Michael Brunner noticed a commotion in the parking lot, a police report said.

During challenging economic times, the Greenfield Police Department has found solutions in Community Service Officers.
Crime cracking aside, one of the biggest challenges facing Greenfield Police Chief Brad Wentlandt on a regular basis is ensuring the department's budget and staffing needs are balanced. He must take into account the economic realities that the city and department faces, without compromising a certain level of service residents expect and need. Taking both into account, Wentlandt introduced the Community Service Officers program to the department during the 2012 budget process. A CSO is a part-time paid position but the officers are neither sworn in nor armed. They must be 18 years of age with a valid driver’s license and enrolled in some college program, preferably related to law enforcement. CSOs are generally scheduled during the daytime…

The 41-year-old man, convicted of sexual assault of a child in 2004, will live with a relative.
The Greenfield Police Department plans to keep a vigilant eye on a 41-year-old sex offender who will move into the city after Nov. 1. Jay Stroschin, who will live in the 8500 block of West Waterford Avenue, was convicted in 2004 of first degree sexual assault of a child. The 41-year-old man is considered "high-risk" because the crime was against a child, and because of his noncompliant status and lack of a job. According to authorities, Stroschin will be monitored by a GPS. Law enforcement, probation and parole agents will visit Stroschin regularly, according to a flyer distributed by Greenfield police. "We are concerned enough to distribute the flyer," said Greenfield Detective Sgt. Mike Brunner, who added Greenfield police officials …
