Milwaukee Police District 5 and District 2 had the honor of working with the Cops and Kids Foundation to bring children from our respective Districts together for free bowling and pizza. It was an amazing event filled with lots of high fives, laughter, and smiles.
Today officers from District 5 were able to volunteer with Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin to hand out almost 200 meals to those in need. We were joined by MFD, Safe and Sound, WestCare, and Alderman Stamper. We packed all the food in the bags and those receiving the food were able to drive right up and have it all loaded in for them! In a time where grocery prices are on a constant rise it is important to help those who need it. And a big thank you to The Q restaurant for providing their parking lot for the event!
Thank you Hope Street Ministry for inviting us to join the fun!
Captain Grant and District Five officers had a blast at COA Youth & Family Centers for “Cookie with a Cop”.

Several young individuals expressed their interest in one day embarking in a law enforcement career. They were fascinated by the Police Cadet program and Police Aide programs that are offered to gain experience and insight into the life of being a police officer.
