Good morning, Appleton.

Northeastern fire departments have been called to help Waukesha County as officials expected a 500-year flood; the Appleton Fire Department deployed swift water technicians and watercraft—officials warn residents not to walk, swim, or drive through floodwater.

The Appleton Police Department released the 2025 community survey results from 687 responses collected from late June to mid-July.

The survey shows the community is most concerned about traffic offenses and drug issues—leading the department to review its plans for increased patrol visibility, enhanced officer training, and more community engagement.
