Officer Leah Myers
Pet Therapy: Sometimes the Best Therapist has Fur and Four Legs
Onalaska Police Officer Leah Myers will be sharing helpful information about cyber safety. Fraud is often a crime of opportunity, and we can reduce the likelihood of being victimized by taking simple steps to protect ourselves.
Officer Myers always has interesting, real-life, relatable stories that she will share and helpful tips on how to protect ourselves from fraudulent activity and what to do if we have been or are victimized.
Hello, I’m Officer Leah Myers. I’m a Patrol Officer and D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) Officer for the Onalaska Police Department. I graduated from UW-Oshkosh with a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice and a Minor in Sociology. I have been in Law Enforcement for the past 22 years. I began my career with the Baraboo Police Department and have been with the Onalaska Police Department since 2006. A great deal of my on-duty time is spent in our five Onalaska elementary schools, which include both public and parochial schools.
Heart 2 Heart
Pet Lifeline
Heart2Heart provides financial help for veterinary services and other pet needs through community donations and support. Board members have worked extensively with animal shelters and animal rescue organizations. We know too well the difficulties faced by pet families and animal welfare organizations when pet medical care cannot be managed.
Our goal is to keep animals out of the overcrowded shelter environment by helping to keep animals with their loving families. When people must forego care because of cost but choose to keep their beloved animal at home, it is the animal who suffers and pays the cost with poor health.
