A. Staffing
· Front Desk Associate has been hired and are at full staffing
· Full Time Dispatcher was hired, also at full staffing
· The PD would like 3 more Community Service Officers (to get to a total of 8), and PD is still working with the City Admin to get this accomplished
· We have 14 current CSO candidates, this program has become a great training ground where we often hire them later on as Police Officers
B. Budget process
· RNC deployments went well with no mutual aid issues; looking to get around $200,000.00 of reimbursement from Milwaukee PD/Federal RNC Grant
· 3 Police Officer positions were agreed to be cut from the Department’s total authorized strength by City, PD Admin and WPOA as a levy and contract decision in Spring 2025. Staffing cuts appear to be the only substantial way to balance our police budget for 2025, and potentially going forward. Also lost 1 Officer due to not meeting qualifications for a Federal COPS grant, due to the need to cut Officers. We hope to gain this Officer and grant back in 2026
· PD is constantly looking for new tec | informational only | |
