April 1: Coffee with a Cop

I love this idea from the South Milwaukee Police Department.

I’m told Chief Wellens wants to make this a regular event, and I’d support that 100%, as they continue to enhance lines of communication with residents.

Hosting community meetings like this one, supporting local block watches, leading the education effort in the fight against drugs, actively engaging on Nextdoor, driving the crime alert email service, and now this — our police department is committed to making sure residents have the information they need to keep their neighborhoods safe.

I stand with them in that effort.
