It is the fundamental mission of the South Milwaukee Police Department to serve the community and safeguard life and property through fair and impartial policing that respects the rights of all people to have liberty, equality and justice. We adhere to a set of standards designed to ensure that all citizens are treated with dignity and we hold ourselves accountable for our actions. Like you, our members were appalled by the actions of the officers in Minneapolis that led to the death of George Floyd, and in the strongest terms we condemn those actions. The events of the past two weeks have brought up many questions about law enforcement supervision, training and tactics.
