Wausau PDâs new officer working with the homeless is changing how the city handles the homeless
Officer Eric Lemirand is the officer working with Wausau s homeless population.
Officer Eric Lemirand walked into the police station on the cityâs near east side on a Friday afternoon on the phone. Heâs speaking with someone who is working their way out of homelessness, and heâs late for his appointment with me.Â
Itâs totally understandable. A big part of his day is spent working with Wausauâs homeless population, and that often means he is constantly taking and returning calls. âI am busier doing this than I was on patrol taking calls,â Lemirand tells me as we ride in his squad car, a black SUV with Police written across the side, down Scott Street.Â

WAUSAU, WI (WSAU-WAOW) The Wausau Police Department is encouraging anyone celebrating a new year to do so safely after a car crashed into a building along North 3rd Street.
Officers found the vehicle crashed into a building in the 700 block near the Woodson YMCA. The driver and any occupants fled the scene before the crash was reported, and officers say they found empty beer cans inside it.
Wausau Police Officer Matthew Grover told WAOW TV that drunk driving crashes often have life-long impacts. “There’s been incidents in our area where passengers have been killed as a result of an OWI crash. Then that goes and affects families, relatives, friends, and all sorts of things as a result of the decision of one person,” he said.
