Tony Ruesga

Tony has immense pride in being a member of the law enforcement profession and especially being part of the Cross Plains Police Department and community. He considers it a tremendous privilege to have been appointed as the Chief of Police. As the leader of a professional and progressive department, it is his primary objective to have an organization whose skills and abilities are second to none. Our team works hard to maintain a high level of excellence, initiative and integrity.

Tony is a firm believer in surrounding himself with exemplary people, and he greatly appreciates the opportunity to watch, listen and learn from the many dedicated community members, Village Board members, Village Administrator, Village Department Heads, Village Employees and members of the Cross Plains Police Department.

Strong relationships of mutual trust between our police department and the community we serve is critical to maintaining public safety and effective policing. We rely on the cooperation of community members to provide information about crime in their neighborhoods and businesses, and to work with us to devise solutions to crime and disorder problems. Similarly community members’ willingness to trust us depends on whether they believe that our actions reflect the community values and incorporate the principles of procedural justice and legitimacy.
