ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ)- After two suspicious incidents this week went hours before being reported to police, Ashwaubenon Public Safety says if you see something, say something.
Captain Jody Crocker says too often, people analyze if they should call or not.
“They don’t know if it was important enough, or they don’t know if they should bother us with it.”
He says calling right away gets police on alert, may prevent someone from leaving town, and helps with accuracy.
“Your memory loses some detail even after minutes,” Crocker said. “The best course of action is to first make sure you are safe, and secondly, notify police so we can respond to it and actually take action.”
A woman reported Tuesday that a man in a van asked her to come closer to talk about her hair and then left.
On Monday a man was seen recording young girls on his cell phone.
Officers did not find out about either situation until hours later.
Crocker says that is concerning.
“If they have a concern and they want to call us, please call us. We will never tell someone that they are wasting our time.”
Both situations are under investigation.
So far, officers have released a photo of a man they believe to be involved.
