OUR FOUNDATION
We don’t exist without our community
In 1829, Sir Robert Peel established a list of policing principles, establishing him as the “Father of Modern Policing”. His policies can be summarized as such:
The police is the public, and the public is the police.
The Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) is made up of citizens who undertake a special responsibility of protecting Milwaukee. Through productive community engagement, we strive to improve public safety and build sustainable, healthy neighborhoods—free of crime.
Protect – Engage – Serve
OUR MEASURE OF SUCCESS EXTENDS BEYOND LAW ENFORCEMENT
Of our sworn officers, 750 handle a vast number of service calls, spread across 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We continuously work to recruit more citizens, support those already serving, and ensure our processes are reliable, unbiased, and effective.
