Milwaukee Police Department Office of Media and Communications
Mar. 9 - The Milwaukee Police Department rededicated the former District 3 police station to house the police officers and personnel of the Neighborhood Task Force (NTF). Milwaukee Police Chief Edward A. Flynn, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, Alderman Michael Murphy, and members of the Neighborhood Task Force rededicated the station, located at 4715 W. Vliet Street, on March 6.
The NTF was formed June 1, 2008 and is a highly visible, multi-disciplinary policing presence in hot spot locations aimed at driving down street-level crime and disorder. The NTF is comprised of the Canine Unit, Fugitive Apprehension Unit, Marine Operations Unit, Motorcycle Unit, Mounted Patrol Unit, Street Crimes Unit and the Tactical Enforcement Unit.
The former Police District 3 building was vacated in December 2001 when the new District 3 building was constructed at 2333 N. 49th Street. In addition to District 3, that building also houses the Technical Communications Division.
The building on Vliet Street housing the NTF is not open to the public.
