Why is the Endeavor Squad outside the village limits?

There could be a number of reasons. Though a traffic violation occurs in the village, it may take the officer time to stop the vehicle resulting in being a distance from where the violation occurred. Further, Endeavor PD may be called upon to assist the Marquette Sheriff’s Office with traffic complaints or service calls. This is called “Mutual Aid” and is permissible under state law. Our officers respond and after addressing the complaint, return to the village. This does not happen often, but is necessary in cases where deputies are not available to respond immediately. Finally, please keep in mind that a portion of I-39 lies within the village. Officers may conduct traffic enforcement on the freeway. Though this enforcement is not happening frequently during the shift, all violations at those speeds are of a higher fine amount. This means more money comes back to the village upon conviction of the operator in a court of law.
