Milwaukee Police Department Statement Regarding Allegations of Fake Vaccination Cards

 

By - Feb 16th, 2022 01:49 pm

MILWAUKEE, WI – Recently, a television news station aired a story titled, “I-Team: 3 MPD officers to face discipline for creating fake COVID-19 vaccination cards.” The news story asserts that three individuals “will be disciplined” for allegedly creating and using fraudulent COVID-19 vaccinations records to attend out of state training, citing the City of Milwaukee Inspector General as a source. Prior to the story airing and consistent with past practices, the Milwaukee Police Department did not make a comment as to the merits of the allegation because it was related to an open investigation. However, due to the nature of the reporting on this case and the seriousness of the allegation, it is important to clarify the record. This matter remains under an internal investigation, and at this time, no discipline has been presented to the Chief of Police for consideration.

The Milwaukee Police Department takes the allegation of creating a fake or fraudulent vaccination card very seriously. We also take all of our investigations extremely seriously and do not predetermine what, if any, discipline will be rendered until the investigation has been completed and due process has been followed.

    Forwarding to the chief of police for ostensibly job discipline? Shouldn’t this be handled by another party since it’s very possibly also a criminal matter involving forgery of federal vaccination documents?
