News Release # 08-21:  April 22, 2008

 

POLICE SHARE RESULTS, ASK FOR NEIGHBORHOOD FEEDBACK


WHAT:  Community meeting for residents and businesses to hear results and give feedback on the Walker’s Point/Walker Square Policing Plan

WHEN: 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 22, 2008

WHO:  Milwaukee Police Chief Edward A. Flynn, Milwaukee Police District 2 Capt. Eduardo Negron, elected officials and District 2 police officers

WHERE: Hope House, 209 W. Orchard, Milwaukee

DETAILS:  District 2 launched its plan beginning January 30, 2008, to abate crime in the Walker’s Point/Walker Square neighborhood. Milwaukee Police will share the plan’s results with residents and business owners. Most important, police want to hear from the neighborhood about whether they have noticed a difference and whether they feel safer.

Law enforcement agencies frequently announce plans for initiatives then fail to get out and tell the public how it’s going – or to ask the public how they think it’s going. In keeping with Chief Flynn’s goal for the Milwaukee Police Department to reduce the crime, fear and disorder in our city’s neighborhoods, these sessions also will help police gauge the fear people feel in their streets and public spaces since the targeted policing effort began.

The media are encouraged to cover the event.
