TOWN OF BLUE MOUNDS RESIDENTS
We have received notice that numerous thefts have been occurring in neighboring Townships and The Town of Blue Mounds.   The thefts are usually minor (spare change in your car, cell phones, anything in your vehicle worth value), but the criminals are getting more bold.  One report showed that the suspects entered the home and looked for personal property with value.
The perpetrator/s have easy shopping when vehicles are left unlocked with the keys inside.  They also have very easy access to houses with the garage door openers.
Being vigilant and smart doing the simple things can help.  Just removing the keys, locking vehicles and homes makes a big difference.  I know taking garage door remotes out of vehicles can be a hassle, but it prevents easy access to your home or garage.  Putting them out of sight in your vehicle can help, like the glove box. Please be aware of your surrondings and report all issues to your local Police Department.

Welcome to the Town of Blue Mounds, Dane County Wi

Established as a government over 160 years ago, the Town of Blue Mounds lies at the far western edge of Dane County in beautiful southwestern Wisconsin.

The early settlers, Germans and Norwegians, came to this area of Wisconsin because the land reminded them of their homeland — beautiful rolling hills, pristine valley streams, potential for bountiful crops.  Farming the land was their objective and this continues today as the prime use of land in the town.

Take a few minutes to explore the town, its history, its government and what's going on today.
