During a recent government meeting, a retired Milwaukee police officer, Mr. Hunt, voiced his concerns regarding safety and discipline in Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS). Drawing from his 25 years of experience, including 13 years as a school squad officer, Hunt highlighted a troubling trend: MPS called the police over 3,000 times in the previous year. He urged students to avoid behaviors that would necessitate police intervention, emphasizing that the presence of law enforcement in schools is often a response to chaos and disorder.

Hunt described the current state of some schools as \"chaos,\" with students running in hallways and frequent fights breaking out. He criticized the lack of proper training for officers who respond to incidents in schools, suggesting that this inadequacy exacerbates the problems rather than alleviating them. He argued for the reinstatement of trained police officers in schools to help manage student behavior effectively.

Moreover, Hunt called for greater parental involvement in schools, asserting that many parents are unaware of the issues their children face. He concluded his remarks by advocating for a return of moral values, stating, \"you need to bring God back up in the schools.\"

The meeting continued with additional speakers, including parents of MPS students, indicating a growing community dialogue about school safety and discipline.
