Mission Statement:
The Office of Diversity & Outreach was established in January of 2003 by the Employee Relations Director, to promote the importance, benefit and necessity of maintaining diversity within the City of Milwaukee's workforce and to ensure compliance with applicable City policies, ADA regulations, fair employment, anti-harassment and discrimination laws for City of Milwaukee employees by developing and revising policies to keep pace with changes in laws, disseminating policies, facilitating training, by providing an alternative method of reporting violations, and by promptly investigating reported violations of those policies and laws. If an investigation discloses a violation has occurred the Diversity & Outreach Officer will work with department heads and managers to implement the corrective recommendation or a reasonable alternative.
The Office of Diversity & Outreach also serves the citizens of Milwaukee by providing (a) any resident that believes they have been discriminated against in employment or housing within the City of Milwaukee the means to file a complaint with the Equal Rights Commission, or (b) any citizen that believes he or she has been treated in a manner that violates the Fire & Police Commission rules or the standard operating procedures of the Police or Fire Department by an employee of the Fire or Police Department the means to file a complaint with the Fire & Police Commission (click here).
The staff of the Office of Diversity & Outreach strives to maintain the confidentiality of the information obtained during the course of an investigation and in most cases, it will only be divulged on a need to know basis. However, some of the records obtained or created during the course of an investigation may be subject to disclosure under the Wisconsin Public Records statute.
