Milwaukee Police release video detailing the use of chemical agents during six civil disturbance incidents:
In response to Directive #1(f.), the Milwaukee Police Department is providing a “full, public and accurate explanation” of the use of chemical irritants during recent civil disturbances.
Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) 910 – Civil Disturbance and Crowd Management was approved by the Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission on March 5, 2020. This SOP defines a civil disturbance as an unlawful assembly that constitutes a breach of the peace or any assembly of persons where there is potential of imminent danger of collective violence, destruction of property, or other unlawful acts. These are typically, but not always, spontaneous occurrences requiring the emergency mobilization of police forces and related emergency services.
Over the course of the past several months, there have been at least 100 protests in the City of Milwaukee; however, there have been 6 instances when members of the Milwaukee Police Department have had to use chemical irritants to disperse unruly crowds.
Today for #ThrowbackThursday we are highlighting Officer Arturo Burgos who has been with our department for more than 18-years.
Officer Burgos is a proud Milwaukee native who knew he wanted to become an officer following the 9-11 attacks. Thank you, Officer Burgos for serving and protecting our great City of Milwaukee.
