2016: Recapping the Year for our Police, Fire Departments

The South Milwaukee Police and Fire Departments have filed their 2016 annual reports. The city council accepted both last Tuesday.

• Here is the Police Department report.
• Here is the Fire Department report.

There is obviously lots of information in both of these, and I encourage you to read at least the chiefs’ letters. Both provide an excellent summary of what their departments are doing to make a difference in our community every day.

I summarize both this way: Both departments continue to deliver excellent service, even as demands increase and budgets are increasingly challenged.

I thank them for what they do to keep South Milwaukee safe. I never take it for granted.

To our firefighters and police officers: We’ve got your back!
