Following a 26-year career as an investigative reporter, Anne E. Schwartz was appointed Public Relations Manager for the Milwaukee Police Department in 2004 and commands the department's Office of Media & Communications.
In 1991, as a reporter for the former Milwaukee Journal, she broke the story of Milwaukee serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer and later wrote the definitive book on the case, "The Man Who Could Not Kill Enough: The Story of Milwaukee's Jeffrey Dahmer." She frequently speaks to national audiences on the subject of Dahmer and how media have changed the way law enforcement messages news of a serial killer to its communities.
Anne is bilingual in Spanish and English. She is a founding member of the Public Affairs Committee for the Major Cities Chiefs organization, a committee formed to advise the country's major city police executives on public affairs issues.
She is the creator, producer and host of "CrimeLine" on Time Warner Cable Television, a program featuring discussions on law enforcement topics.
Anne is a nationally recognized trainer and subject matter expert on strategic communication and crisis communication during critical incidents for law enforcement and public safety professionals. She is an adjunct faculty member teaching executive messaging for law enforcement at the Waukesha County Technical College and Fox Valley Technical College, both in Wisconsin.
