Jan. 21 - Violent crime in Milwaukee is down nearly 13% from last year, and 20 % from 2 years ago. These are sustainable decreases - positive trends in MPD's crime prevention efforts. These numbers represent 5,570 fewer crime victims over the last 2 years; 3,207 fewer crime victims than last year.
“I am optimistic, but cautious for 2010, given that prisoners are being granted early release onto our city streets,” Chief Flynn said. “Disinvestment in the criminal justice system in the name of budget balancing is a false economy. Each crime exacts an extraordinary financial, as well as human, cost.”
Aug. 3 - MPD, in partnership with advertising agency Cramer-Krasselt / Milwaukee, unveiled a wide-reaching campaign designed to “brand” the MPD and Milwaukee with a positive perception of the department and the city, and to assist MPD in its recruiting efforts. The theme, “Be a Force,” will appear on billboards, television, radio and print starting in August.
The campaign, more than a year in development, was provided on a pro bono basis by Cramer-Krasselt – no taxpayer funds were used in the creation of this campaign, which most certainly would cost more than $1 million for a private sector business. The media outlets where these pieces will run also have donated the advertising space to this public service effort.
