Chief Flynn Discusses Response Times
You may have read yet another 'news story' regarding Milwaukee Police response times in today's paper. We're not haggling over their calculation of response times because we're not sure exactly what they're basing their calculations on or how they're choosing to calculate the times, but we can provide the following facts:
-
Comparing the four years before Chief Flynn started (2004-2007) to the time since he took office (2008-2011 YTD), the median response time for all calls (the time a call is entered by a call taker until the time an officer arrives on scene) increased by 3 minutes 15 seconds. Response times to Priority 1 calls for service (potentially life-threatening) increased by 33 seconds. During that same time frame, we have had 112 fewer homicides and 1,259 fewer robberies.

MPD, in partnership with advertising agency Cramer-Krasselt / Milwaukee, unveiled a wide-reaching campaign designed to “brand” the MPD and Milwaukee with a positive perception of the department and the city, and to assist MPD in its recruiting efforts. The theme, “Be a Force,” will appear on billboards, television, radio and print starting in August.
The campaign, more than a year in development, was provided on a pro bono basis by Cramer-Krasselt – no taxpayer funds were used in the creation of this campaign, which most certainly would cost more than $1 million for a private sector business. The media outlets where these pieces will run also have donated the advertising space to this public service effort.
