Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission - 2024 Annual Report

The 2024 Fire and Police Commission Annual Report highlights a year of progress, reform, and renewed commitment to the people of Milwaukee. From strengthening transparency in policing to expanding community engagement and modernizing recruitment, the Commission worked to ensure public safety systems are both effective and accountable. This report showcases key milestones - including new policies that increase public access to critical information, expanded auditing efforts to promote constitutional policing, and innovative outreach initiatives designed to build trust between residents and public safety departments.

At its core, this report reflects a shared responsibility: creating a safer, more equitable Milwaukee through collaboration, oversight, and community voice. Whether through improving response systems, diversifying recruitment, or listening directly to residents, the Commission continues to move forward with a clear goal - advancing both safety and justice for all.

Milwaukee Police Department Satisfaction Report - 2024 Survey

The purpose of these surveys are to measure resident perceptions regarding a range of issues relevant to the Milwaukee Police Department; satisfaction with and trust in the police, perceptions of safety and police visibility, views on various kinds of police contacts, and exposure to crime. The surveys are structured to provide estimates of both city-wide opinion as well as estimates of opinion within each police district.

Community Satisfaction with Police Services in 2024

In 2024, 64% of residents expressed they are “somewhat” or “very” satisfied with police services, reflecting steady confidence in our efforts to serve Milwaukee. The average satisfaction score of 1.68 out of 3 aligns with a “somewhat satisfied” rating, closely matching the 2022 score of 1.67.

While these results highlight consistent community trust, they also inspire us to aim higher. To address areas of concern, the FPC is focusing on initiatives that enhance transparency, strengthen community engagement, and ensure equitable service for all residents.
