✨Today’s Feature Friday honoree is Shana Dorsey, Media Producer for the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD)! A lifetime Milwaukeean and proud daughter of a retired MPD police sergeant, Shana began with the department in 2001 as a 911 operator. From 2006 to 2017 mail processing duties were added to her role, at which time she pursued becoming a police officer; however, she decided to return to serving as a 911 operator. All the while, on her own time, Shana was doing creative activities as she had done throughout her life, from painting and drawing to designing chess boards. Shana has published nine art books and was featured on local news for her work as a special effects makeup artist. She was appointed to Graphic Designer II with MPD in 2018 and was promoted to her current role in 2020.
Says Shana, “I still do graphic design, but my added duties are taking photos, making videos, and doing more with the community.” Among the countless projects she has designed are graphics for the website and newsletters, book covers, a reimagined retirement board, logos for the Traffic Safety Unit vehicles, billboards, flyers, annual reports, a challenge coin for the Mayor’s security detail, and a jacket logo design for the honor guard. In addition, her painting is hanging in the lobby of the Intelligence Fusion Center.
Shana believes in showing kids a positive view of police officers. For example, during the holidays, she designed a 6-foot “MPD Grinch” with which families could pose for photos and interact with police officers. She truly enjoys her job and her coworkers as well as the opportunity to use her artistic skills to make an impact. Outside of work, Shana enjoys performing community service work, such as tutoring and mentoring children and volunteering to help the homeless.
So today we recognize and thank Shana Dorsey for bringing her dedication and creative flair to her role with MPD every day!
