South Milwaukee Police School Liaison Program
The South Milwaukee Police School Liaison Program was established in 1984. The program began with one officer who was assigned to work at the public schools of South Milwaukee. Since that time, another Police School Liaison position has been added.

The goal of the Police School Liaison Officer is to bridge the gap between the Police Department, the schools, and their students. By bridging this gap, the lines of communication are opened more fully. This allows for quicker and more effective problem solving, as well as enhancing the school experience for the students.  In addition to these duties, the officers teach D.A.R.E. in all of the 5th grade classes in South Milwaukee. 

The Police Department and the School District of South Milwaukee have formed a strong partnership through the Police School Liaison Program.  The positions receive financial support from the School District of South Milwaukee. The Police School Liaison Officer are available to make classroom presentations on a variety of law enforcement related topics.

If you need to contact a Police School Liaison Officer, they can be reached at the following numbers. 
High School 766-5877   |  Middle School 766-5819  |  Police Department 768-8060

Child Passenger Safety
 

Is your child properly restrained in his or her child safety seat?  Is the seat correctly installed? More than 80% of child safety seats are installed or used incorrectly. Check it out!

The South Milwaukee Police Department offers free child safety seat (car seat) inspections by appointment only. The child safety seat inspections are performed by a certified child passenger safety technician. The technician looks at how the seat is installed and how the child is restrained in the seat. He or she will assist the parent or caregiver with the proper installation of the seat, as well as how to properly restrain the child in the child safety seat.

The Child Passenger Safety Program has a limited number of new child safety seats available for low income South Milwaukee residents (donations for the child safety seat are encouraged to help maintain our program).

To schedule an appointment, call Officer Mick Olson the South Milwaukee Police Department at (414) 768-8060.

Basics of Safe Bicycling Program
Annually during the months of May and June, officers from the Department present the state approved Bicycle Safety Curriculum to nearly 400 third grade students from the South Milwaukee public and parochial schools.  “Basics of Safe Bicycling” is a program in which students receive several short lessons on bicycle safety during their gym classes.  The South Milwaukee Police Department officers then visit each school with our custom trailer and 30 BMX style bicycles and spend half a day with each class.  During this time the students actually ride the bicycles through several exercises designed to reinforce the basic lessons taught in the classroom.

The program emphasizes basic bicycle safety techniques as well as helmet usage.  The students enjoy a day of bicycle riding, and the teachers use this special event to integrate bicycle safety into their daily curriculum.  Students write essays on what they have learned as well as participate in other activities to reinforce the safety theme.

Quick 50 program
The South Milwaukee Police Department participates in the Quick 50 program.  Quick 50 is a community-based program that offers a cash reward for confidential tips about the possession of alcohol, illegal drugs, or weapons on school property.  It is a secondary product of the Crime Stopper’s tip line, but offers a structured $50.00 cash reward that is provided within a short time period, often within 24 hours of receiving the tip.
