Welcome to the Village of Brooklyn

Located in both Dane and Green Counties Wisconsin, the Village is conveniently located half way between Madison and Janesville off Highway 14. Our neighborly small-town (population 1413) has excellent amenities: a great school system; three Village parks; and a community center, which makes Brooklyn a great place to live!

Just blew a .08 or above? Then you just blew $10k. That’s the average cost of an OWI considering fines, court costs, attorney fees, higher insurance rates, etc. The Brooklyn Police Department is joining law enforcement agencies across Wisconsin looking for impaired drivers. Please - Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.
Whether it’s caused by alcohol or legal or illegal drugs, impaired drivers endanger everyone. To make roadways safer for all travelers, law enforcement agencies across Wisconsin are watching for impaired drivers as part of the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” holiday campaign beginning December 13th through New Year’s Day.
The “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” holiday campaign continues through New Year’s Day. While law enforcement does its part, citizens must step up as well. Drive responsibly and don’t allow someone else to get behind the wheel impaired. Always protect yourself and your passengers by buckling up and being alert.
Every party begins with a good plan. Consider downloading the free "Drive Sober" mobile app. Along with a designated driver selector, it includes a find-a-ride feature that uses a smart phone’s GPS system to locate alternative transportation.
Did You Know: 160 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes in Wisconsin last year.
Did You Know: to deter impaired driving, Wisconsin has 23 OWI law enforcement task forces that work throughout the year across the state.
