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.
