South Shore Masonic Lodge Makes Big Donation To South Milwaukee Police

Update: Here is a picture.

A big thanks goes to the Masonic South Shore Lodge #3 for its $2,350 donation to the South Milwaukee Police Department for new officer and citizen safety equipment.

Lodge members made the donation at Tuesday’s City Council meeting, saying that the contribution fits in well with its goals of serving others and helping the community.

Police will use the funds to purchase tourniquets and combat gauze for each of the department’s 32 officers, as well as some extras.

The equipment will be used to treat officers and others at critical incidents to hopefully stabilize the patient before first responders arrive – important lifesaving gear that is a welcome addition for the department.

Couple Quick Notes From Law Enforcement

Update: And here is the police report from South Milwaukee NOW.

Oak Creek Patch has a story about how Oak Creek police eventually caught two men suspected in a robbery over the weekend in South Milwaukee’s 4th District.

Check it out here.

Also, I got this email from the South Milwaukee Police Department over the weekend, in case you were wondering why Flight for Life was in South Milwaukee on Saturday …

On August 27th 20011 at 659 pm South Milwaukee Police Officers were dispatched to [Manitoba Avenue] in response to a report of a male subject who had shot himself in the head.  Officers arrived and did locate a [redacted] male subject with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. This person was transported to Froedert Hospital by Flight For Life at 803 pm.  

I took out the complete address and a few other details to protect the man’s privacy.
