The review noted that MFD revised multiple SOGs in 2024, including a first-responder handbook, guidance on demonstrator/entanglement removals, mass-casualty incident procedures, the respiratory-protection program, decontamination guidelines, and guidance related to ballot boxes, early voting locations and election-day response. The analyst also noted new or updated guidance related to electric vehicle incidents, including lithium iron ion battery emergencies and electrical-vehicle supply equipment.

On MPD SOPs, the report highlighted updates to SOP 2-50 (communications) to reflect the creation of the Department of Emergency Communications and the new CAD/911 systems, and an SOP 2-80 (alarms) change to add availability of burglar-alarm information for repeat victims. The review described additions to SOP 4-60 (use of force) that the presenter said align MPD policy with constitutional standards and the U.S. Supreme Court's Graham v. Connor precedent, add an objectively reasonable standard, expand de-escalation language and require members to give a reasonable amount of time to comply with lawful orders when feasible. The presentation also said a civilian Milwaukee resident was added to the use-of-force committee and that the committee's areas of focus were updated.

The analyst called out three MPD SOPs that had not been updated recently and may merit review: guidelines on intoxicated or incapacitated persons (last revised 2018), landlord-tenant disputes (2018), and recording of police activity by members of the public (2016). The analyst told commissioners that most SOPs are reviewed or approved through MPD's Office of Management Analysis and Planning (OMAP) and that lieutenant-level staff (Lt. Krauske was named) contribute administrative changes and updates.

A commissioner asked whether the FPC can monitor SOPs that are particularly technology-dependent; the analyst said many such updates arrive to the office as administrative changes and that OMAP is generally thorough, but suggested the committee can request additional monitoring or earlier review for rapidly evolving areas.

Ending: The analyst noted links to revised documents were included in the written report and said departments would receive the FPC's review for their consideration; no committee action was required on the report.","The Fire and Police Commission's annual policy review listed changes to MPD SOPs and MFD SOGs made in 2024, highlighted use-of-force updates recommended by the Community Collaborative Commission, and identified a small set of older guidelines that may merit revision.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6622269,"City report: Milwaukee 911 centers exceeded NENA call-answer goals in Q4 2024",378,1470000,1848000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2787273-ee97c2c33296c6435a7b5b33a14dfb81&start=1470&end=1848","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2787273-ee97c2c33296c6435a7b5b33a14dfb81/thumbnail_1470000.jpg","/articles/6622269/Milwaukee/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/City-report-Milwaukee-911-centers-exceeded-NENA-call-answer-goals-in-Q4-2024","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6622269-6075ee962df28bb528e83604388d0fa3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771179056&Signature=fgyF-0dj876kZk1o0n4l1Si8BO9OESp4lopCxjXt4TfyK-pP5lRg-vXFhlBPLGUyyFcun8XpRhKPwcVGdgOIfNQh~~smTcj-FOSBDHOwsFyYA4iKjcOdXbNQd5V8Udi8asfhKde4sZvkV9s01PezKFC7qfcqN-nRKs5XWx~OxVmM-D7Wuonvp96yh5i3QeUvG6RNOYh3MPvaPSpArem2clHpUQgXj~IRM~y5tAFu7ybnm5AOVvQvvdpuFbW61ZAmFDxyWaiZIXt5P1VZM6ErumZk6ggejHZwKtYHUwcjsMqMHO2C3xUqUeAaXThmEcrKZjapHZPddUZM7wqa8Ba0Qw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Barbara Cooley, a research and policy analyst for the Fire and Police Commission, told commissioners on March 25 that Milwaukee's 911 centers surpassed National Emergency Number Association (NENA) call-answer standards in the fourth quarter of 2024. Cooley said the standards require that 90% of 911 calls be answered within 15 seconds and 95% within 20 seconds.

Cooley reported that MPD's emergency communications met the 15-second standard at 98.3% for the quarter and MFD's center exceeded the same standard at 97.9%, the presentation showed. She said outlier calls (answered in more than 180 seconds) decreased from the prior quarter to 0.02% for both MPD and MFD. Cooley also reported that Q4 2024 averaged 161 telecommunicators and dispatchers combined and that staffing increases beginning in 2022, including an expedited hiring process and a pay increase, were the major drivers of improved performance. She noted training for new telecommunicators typically requires about eight weeks.

The report indicated call-answer performance exceeded the 15-second goal across all shifts in Q4 2024. Cooley attributed the improvement primarily to higher staffing levels and implementation of the new Department of Emergency Communications (DEC) and upgraded CAD/911 systems, while underscoring staffing as the most closely correlated factor.

Commissioners asked about measures of call quality and customer satisfaction. Cooley said the quarterly report focuses on answer times; satisfaction and service-quality questions are addressed in a biennial police satisfaction survey the office conducts. Commissioners also asked whether future reports would separate MPD and MFD statistics from aggregated DEC metrics; Cooley said she and Director Todd would discuss the best approach for 2025 reports.

Ending: Cooley provided links in the report to supporting data and invited follow-up questions; no committee action was required on the item.","FPC research analyst reported that both Milwaukee Police and Fire dispatch centers exceeded the National Emergency Number Association call-answer standards in the fourth quarter of 2024, a performance improvement officials attribute largely to increased staffing.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6622273,"FPC audit unit lays out 2025 work plan; Collins settlement audits take priority",1176,75000,1251000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2787273-ee97c2c33296c6435a7b5b33a14dfb81&start=75&end=1251","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2787273-ee97c2c33296c6435a7b5b33a14dfb81/thumbnail_75000.jpg","/articles/6622273/Milwaukee/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/FPC-audit-unit-lays-out-2025-work-plan-Collins-settlement-audits-take-priority","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6622273-9bacb6b6535b456cd003c624cd8e126d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771179056&Signature=MvPEi7QTCJ4mY3yzz7FhdvSn71dBb2MzvMvsyXhUIVCyCyi7WBLNO4KypxYIqCBIRTaH8FgqHp--2k-UvxuAnPdjeSdU-AsTb-VH2t15BHDDvPEE~6QOYmjHsjFOyU48e1h4bzInJGzG1wFVr-zkGjXG77EesQLnQbEm1VGBcDvXkUlB1r-FOJlqn1TVH99Nq1~FvbgghFOOdIgPn9fJN~fGq~zY7rNyKREgb2iJe4vt62letrAhfi78UJsjY0rsBv4P6bEiRG2pmkIev-lUE3chg0uLpFar9yCMJHmaqfqPTRtZY0HNy8TFqcMURZNPiNwHNq4zE3Yb7SLSHolorw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sean Ratclo, the audit manager for the Fire and Police Commission, presented the audit unit's 2025 work plan at the March 25 Fire and Police Commission Oversight and Accountability Committee meeting, saying the Collins settlement audits will take precedence and that the unit will also pursue several non-settlement operational reviews.

The Collins settlement (referred to in the presentation as the Collins agreement) requires the FPC audit unit to complete 12 audits on a recurring six-month schedule. Ratclo said those required topics include traffic stops; field interviews (also described as stop or 'citizen contact' encounters); 'no-action' encounters; citizen complaints; and internally generated complaints handled through the Milwaukee Police Department and the Fire and Police Commission. \"Those will take precedence over our other audits,\" Ratclo said.

Beyond the settlement audits, the 2025 plan lists operational reviews the audit unit intends to complete: a domestic violence (DV) calls-for-service audit, a ShotSpotter (gunshot detection) audit, an in-car (squad) video review, a use-of-force audit, an MPD overtime audit, a discipline-matrix review, and a supervisor-training review. Ratclo described key objectives for each: the DV audit will assess compliance with the department's domestic-violence guidance and procedures (noting mandatory reports, victim/witness rights, prior history checks, provision of hotline and handouts, evidence collection and professionalism) and will review CAD entries and body-worn camera footage. He said the DV audit includes 10 key objectives ranging from incident outcome and probable cause through evidence handling and customer service.

On ShotSpotter, Ratclo said the audit will check compliance with SOP 7-45 and five objectives including initial investigation, locating casings or victims, report completion and body-camera activation. The in-car video review will check activation and use under SOP 7-30, including front and rear cameras, evidence collection, and prisoner treatment caught on rear cameras. The use-of-force audit (SOP 4-60) will assess whether de-escalation, crisis intervention and policy-compliant force are being employed and will provide a neutral review of incidents. The MPD overtime audit was described as a recurring, resolution-mandated fiscal review; Ratclo cited a prior resolution referenced in the presentation. The discipline-matrix review will examine consistency in discipline under SOP 8-70. The supervisor-training item is framed as a review of training materials and delivery (not a formal audit) and references 'SOP 82' for training-related policy.

Ratclo reported the status of several items already in progress: the DV audit is currently on Director Todd's desk for review; the ShotSpotter audit is in a finalized draft stage; the in-car video audit is in draft; and the supervisor-training review began on March 24 and will run through April 11. He said audits generally examine closed cases rather than open investigations to avoid changing data and that sampling is used where the volume is large.

During questions from commissioners, Ratclo said officers are notified that audits occur but are not given case-level notice. \"We do notify the Milwaukee Police Department about, hey, we're doing an audit,\" he said, adding that specific cases or time windows are selected after the fact so officers cannot modify behavior for a targeted review. He described sampling methods as randomized and statistical, using a +/-5% error tolerance and randomizer.org to select records when large populations make full review impractical.

Commissioners asked about victim surveys for the DV audit; Ratclo replied the audit will rely on CAD and body-worn camera review rather than surveying victims directly. Commissioners also asked about sample distribution across shifts; Ratclo said most audits cover all shifts, while some items (the in-car video review) may sample by a chosen month or shift if needed. He said the audit unit can provide more detail to the committee about supervisor-training materials and agreed to deliver an outline on request.

The presentation cited that audit updates will continue to be provided through the FPC regular agenda and that the audit unit intends to coordinate future audit-topic planning with the committee. No formal committee action was required on the report.

Ending: The audit manager closed by noting public access to audit-related SOPs and materials on MPD's website and offering to provide additional documentation to commissioners on request.","At its March 25 meeting the Fire and Police Commission audit manager presented a 2025 audit work plan prioritizing 12 audits required under the Collins settlement and a slate of operational audits including domestic violence response, ShotSpotter, in-car video, use of force, overtime and supervisor training.","actionData","errors"]
