E-mail Alert and Information Group

I would like to take the opportunity to welcome everyone to the South Milwaukee Police Department's e-mail alert and information group.  This e-mail alert program will be used to share current crime prevention information and updates along with information about what has been occurring in South Milwaukee with both businesses and individuals.  You can expect to see information about current crime and scam trends in South Milwaukee, Wisconsin and across the country, along with ways to prevent you or your business from becoming victims. 

I encourage those that have information that they feel is relevant to forward that to me at mhill@ci.south-milwaukee.wi.us. I will review the information and then send it to the group.  If you know someone that would like to join this list, please have them contact me to have their e-mail address added to the list.

I would like thank Jim Shelenske for organizing and maintaining this service for the South Milwaukee Police Department and the City of South Milwaukee. 

If you have questions or comments about this service, or would like to see a specific topic addressed, please contact me at the e-mail address above or by phone at 414-768-8060.  My scheduled hours are from 3:40p.m. until 12:00a.m..

Thefts from vehicles

It may not seem so now, but warmer weather will soon be here.  Unfortunately, as the temperature rises, so does the number of thefts from vehicles.  Keep your valuables safe by doing a few simple things:

1. Take moveable valuables with you.  Do not leave your cell phones, Ipod, sunglasses, wallets or purses in your car.

2. Lock items in the trunk if taking them inside is not practical.

3. Do not leave spare change visible.

4. Park in a well lit, visible location.  Remote, dark areas are an invitation to a would be thief.

If you are the victim of a theft from vehicle, report it to SMPD as soon as possible at 414-768-8060.
