While the Wisconsin National Guard heads to Washington D.C. and the Wisconsin State Capital gets boarded up, law enforcement officials expect things to be calm locally. Governor Tony Evers announced Wednesday the deployment of 500 Wisconsin National Guard members to Washington D.C. to support security ahead of the Presidential inauguration on January 20th. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has warned state governments of possible armed protests in all 50 states at their capital buildings in the aftermath of last week’s unrest at the United States Capitol. Sturgeon Bay Police Captain Dan Brinkman is not concerned about similar events happening here because of the trust he has in the community.

Brinkman says there has been no fall out from last week’s events that led to five people dying and dozens of others being arrested.
