Crime and Justice Institute Reports

On July 23, 2018, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin entered an order adopting a Settlement Agreement among the parties to Charles Collins, et al. v. City of Milwaukee, et al. As part of that Settlement Agreement a Consultant must prepare an annual report that addresses the City’s compliance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement based on a review of MPD and FPC actions and an annual analysis of MPD data on traffic stops, field interviews, no-action encounters (NAE), searches, and frisks. After mutual agreement by the counsel for the Plaintiffs and the City, the Crime and Justice Institute (CJI) was contracted by the City to serve as the Consultant.

Citizen Complaint Data Update

The Fire and Police Commission (FPC) has updated the posted citizen complaint dataset with third quarter 2025 data. In addition to the citizen complaint summaries already contained in FPC Annual Reports and Citizen Complaint Reports, the FPC maintains this online dataset on the City of Milwaukee’s Open Data Portal detailing the complaints received by our office.  

Stop and Search Data Posted

Per the requirements of the Collins Settlement Agreement (Federal Case No. 17-CV-234-JPS) the Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission (FPC) is required to publish electronic data on all of MPD's traffic stops, field interviews, no-action encounters (now known as 'unknown field interviews'), frisks, and searches on its website on an annual basis. Data is suitable for posting only after the Personally Identifiable Information (PII) gathered from each encounter has been removed.
