Be the One to Make a Difference
Are you interested doing fulfilling work, earning a great income with benefits, and being a guardian of your community? Hear from current police officers about why they joined the Milwaukee Police Department:
The Fire and Police Commission (FPC) has released a dataset summarizing the citizen complaints received by the FPC in 2018. In addition to the citizen complaint summaries already contained in FPC Annual Reports and Citizen Complaint Reports, the FPC will also maintain this online dataset on the City of Milwaukee’s Open Data Portal detailing the complaints received by our office. This data will be updated quarterly.
The Fire and Police Commission is pleased to announce the release of our 2017 Annual Report. The report provides a thorough overview of the work of the FPC during 2017 and includes:
Steven G. Brandl, Ph.D. of the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Department of Criminal Justice has completed his analysis of the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) uses of force for the year 2017. This report is the latest report in a systematic examination of the MPD use of force that has been ongoing since 2009.
The FPC has released the 2017 Vehicle Pursuit Report, detailing information related to vehicle pursuits engaged in by the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD). The goal is to provide the public with an objective measure of the frequency and circumstance of vehicle pursuits engaged in by MPD officers. This report is intended as a factual, informational, and unbiased tool for the public and policy makers to reference when examining this important topic.
As part of the recently announced Milwaukee Collaborative Reform Initiative (MKECR), the Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission (FPC) is pleased to announce a new web portal to offer the residents of the City of Milwaukee an opportunity to read, review, learn about and comment on the findings and recommendations contained in the draft US Department of Justice (US DOJ) Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) assessment report. Please read our press release for more information.
