Milton's City Council meeting on February 3, 2025, highlighted pressing public safety concerns, particularly following a tragic incident involving local law enforcement. Officers from Milton assisted in a homicide case in Fife, where they rendered aid to a stabbing victim who ultimately did not survive. The police department plans to conduct a critical incident debrief for the officers involved, emphasizing the emotional toll such events can have on first responders.

In addition to addressing the recent violence, Police Chief reported that the department is now fully staffed, despite still facing challenges with three officers currently unavailable due to various incidents, including one officer injured while assisting with a drone operation. The Chief also mentioned ongoing efforts to ensure compliance with new legislation regarding body cameras and traffic calming measures, as well as a new initiative to purchase electric bikes funded through drug-related assets.

The meeting also touched on a bizarre incident at the local skate park, where a porta potty was destroyed by a mortar, with a homeless individual inside at the time. Authorities are investigating the incident and plan to charge those responsible with assault and vandalism.

The Chief urged community vigilance, reminding residents that crime knows no boundaries, and encouraged citizens to report any suspicious activities, especially concerning youth riding e-bikes and motorcycles recklessly. The department is actively working to educate young riders and is open to receiving timely reports from the public to help address these issues effectively.
