In response to nationwide calls for police reform, this report analyzes how the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) has altered their practices and conduct. It also compares the MPD to peer cities with regard to key protocols, practices, and policies. The reforms highlighted focus on re-conceptualizing public safety (i.e. changing responses to non-violent calls and immigration enforcement), use-of-force, data collection, accountability, transparency, training, and demilitarization.
