UPDATE: Polk County Courts CLOSED today due to inclement weather.
POLK COUNTY, Wisconsin, February, 23, 2023—Polk County Judge Anderson released a joint statement this morning with Judge Tolan that they would be cancelling and closing the courts in Polk County today, February 23, due to inclement weather.
"I understand that the Courts need to be open to the public and we need to serve those in need of our service," said Judge Anderson. "I also understand that we need to consider the safety of our staff as well as those we serve. I also state that this is not a knee-jerk reaction to the weather and Judge Tolan and I each take our service to our community very seriously. Based upon my discussion with the wonderful staff at Polk County as well as my trip outside this morning, as well as the radar and projection for continued snow throughout the day as well as blowing and drifting, it does not appear safe to keep the Court open today."
