MPD Joins IACP Trust Building Campaign
MILWAUKEE, WI – The Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) is pleased to announce that they have joined other agencies across the U.S. and globally in pledging to enhance trust and collaboration between police and communities served. The pledge is part of an initiative called the Trust Building Campaign which was started by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), the world’s largest and most influential professional association for police leaders. In joining the Trust Building Campaign, MPD has pledged to implement 25 key policies and leading practices within a 36-month period.
The Trust Building Campaign pledge mandates MPD to prioritize actions encouraging positive community-police partnerships within six focus areas (bias-free policing; use of force; leadership and culture; recruitment, hiring, and retention; victim services; and community relations). These areas and their associated key practices are designed to promote safe, effective interactions, create strategies to prevent and reduce crime, and improve the well being and quality of life for our community.
In a world where information is spread so quickly, it is critical now more than ever, that law enforcement have the trust of the community they protect and serve. In taking the Trust Building Campaign pledge, MPD continues to honor its commitment to the community in this area.
