MPD Announces Changes Due To Covid-19
The Milwaukee Police Department has been actively working with our system partners, including the Milwaukee Health Department, to address any changes in our operation as it relates to the COVID-19 virus.
Recently a civilian member of the Milwaukee Police Department tested positive for COVID-19. This employee is under home quarantine and the people within this employee’s wark location are being monitored closely. This employee’s role within the Milwaukee Police Department does not involve any direct contact with the public therefore, there is no reason to believe that the public was placed at risk.

- Milwaukee Police Department Open Records Section is dosed to the public, anyone requesting open records requests can do so online at mpdopenrecordsmilwaukee.gov. Delays should be expected for request being fulfilled.
