Jeffrey Norman is a candidate for the police chief position in neighboring Wauwatosa. Upon hearing this news I could only think, it would be tragic and a mistake for our city to lose such a talented and dedicated individual to a municipality that is literally across the street.
Acting Chief Norman’s resume speaks for itself. He’s a Milwaukee native, has a nearly 20 year background in law, and has 25 years of experience in law enforcement in a variety of capacities.

A 19-year-old Milwaukee man has been charged with killing two people at separate locations within two hours of each other on a day when four people in the city died by gun violence.
Mharquelle Q. Dixon, of Milwaukee, faces two counts of first-degree reckless homicide, among other charges, after he admitted to shooting both victims, who he apparently knew, according to the criminal complaint.
The first killed was Starcey Chatman, 36, along the 2600 block of North 24th Place. Shortly after, less than half a mile away, Keandre Scott, 20, was killed and another woman was injured in a shooting along the 2400 block of West Ash Street.
