WAUKESHA - Despite her name, Pepper has what safely can be called a sweet disposition.
Surrounded by a score of criminal justice students Monday at Waukesha County Technical College in Pewaukee, Pepper enthusiastically made the rounds, greeting each student, checking out each bystander and generally settling down in the middle of the crowd on hand to meet her.
What s more, she loves kids, her handler said.
It s that disposition, along with the ability to respond to 60 canine commands, that makes her an ideal trained companion and an important new part of Waukesha County s Victim Witness Assistance program, officials say. We are excited to say that we have hired a very good girl, said Jennifer Dunn, director of the victim witness program and Pepper s handler for its facility dog component several years in the making. More importantly, she is calm and gentle and loves attention, especially from children.

County looks to build local facility, stop sending juveniles to Lincoln Hills and Copper Lake. //end headline wrapper ?>Milwaukee County SRCCCY Rendering.
Gov.
Tony Evers is proposing to spend $45.8 million on a new juvenile facility in Milwaukee, budget documents show.
“The facility in this request will assist DOC (Department of Corrections) with working towards meeting the requirements of Act 185 and Act 8, which were created with the intent of eventually converting Lincoln Hills and Copper Lake Schools buildings into adult facilities,” the proposed budget says.
Lincoln Hills and Copper Lake are the state’s secure juvenile prisons.
The proposal is part of the proposed 2021-23 state capital budget. The governor recommended a total of $119.1 million in DOC capital spending.
