Wisconsin Policy Forum Publishes Common Ground: Enhancing Community Oriented Policing in Milwaukee Report
On May 8, 2024, the Wisconsin Policy Forum (WPF) released its report Common Ground: Enhancing Community Oriented Policing in Milwaukee. The report summarizes the themes from the community listening session that MPD held in collaboration with the FPC, the Community Collaborative Commission (CCC), and the Office of Community Safety and Wellness, from the summer of 2022 through the winter of 2024. The listening sessions were designed to gather community input to inform the creation of a community-oriented policing plan. The report also contains an overview of noteworthy community-oriented policing initiatives in other cities, as well as recommendations for potential policy considerations in Milwaukee. The full report can be found on WPF’s website or by clicking HERE.
