Neighborhood Scout, a real estate website, used its search engines to combine various crime data to analyze the safest neighborhoods in the U.S. Milwaukee’s Kinnickinnic River Parkway/Cleveland Ave. neighborhood ranked among the 50 top neighborhoods in the country!

New Crime Maps and Data Available
The City of Milwaukee, in partnership with the Milwaukee Police Department, has created two new web applications that you may find useful and informative.
PDF Crime Map Downloads - www.milwaukee.gov/aldermanicmaps
This application will allow you to download and print crime maps for a specified aldermanic district. Each district map displays incidents in twelve major crime categories during the previous four weeks. Maps are updated weekly.
Dispatched Calls for Service - www.milwaukee.gov/policecalls
This application displays a list of calls made to the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) for police services. The "calls for service" list works much like a printed police scanner. It includes police calls received during the last 30 – 90 minutes.

Police Re-Districting and the 11th District
The Milwaukee Police Department has made re-districting changes that affect the 11th Aldermanic District.
The changes, implemented in July 2009, were announced by Police Chief Edward Flynn as a means of reducing the levels of crime, fear, and disorder through community-based, problem-oriented, and data-driven policing. To view the MPD’s re-drawn district borders, please click here.
Alderman Dudzik said he does not support the new re-districting plan because it expands Police District 6 which serves the 11th Aldermanic District. The re-districting affects the 11th District in the following ways: Police District 6 will continue to serve 11th District. However, the Community Liaison Officers for the district have changed – Officers Carlos Felix and Mark Karkowski for District Six. The commander for the district has changed – Capt. Michael D. Young is now in command at District Six. The chief has sole authority to implement the re-districting.
