Alderman Donovan - 8th District

What's New

Community Prosecution Unit Case Files program
Milwaukee has a variety of strategies in place for protecting and preserving the quality of life in the city. The Community Prosecution Unit weaves these strategies together to create a network of police, Council members, city service agents, ordinances, the court system and more to help find innovative solutions to persistent problems in our communities. In this program, we will chronicle how various problems are solved through the coordination of the Community Prosecution Unit and neighbors. 

Ald. Donovan helped launch a project that showcases the Community Prosecution Unit through a television series, highlighting the success of the CPU and providing the public with resources for abating crime in their neighborhood.

In this episode, a nuisance property drives the neighbors to take action and through the coordinated efforts of the Community Prosecution Unit, the owner is prosecuted and imprisoned and the house is sold to new owner-occupants.

Police Re-Districting and the 8th District

The Milwaukee Police Department has made re-districting changes that affect the 8th Aldermanic District.

The changes, implemented earlier this month (July), were announced by Police Chief Edward Flynn in June as a means of reducing the levels of crime, fear, and disorder through community-based, problem-oriented, and data-driven policing.

Alderman Donovan said the re-districting affects the 8th District in the following ways: Police Districts Six, Two and Three will now serve the 8th Aldermanic District. The community liaison officers for each district are as follows – Officers Carlos Felix and Mark Krowski for District Six, Officers Jose Arzaga and Jose Gloria for District Two, and Officers Derrick Lemmie, Hue Kong, and Charlotte for District Three. The commanders for each district have changed – Capt. Michael D. Young is in command at District Six, Capt. Donald J. Gaglione is in command at District Two and Capt. Christopher D. Domagalski is in command at District Three.

The chief has sole authority to implement the re-districting.
