Minutes note: Individual appearing: Captain Stephen Basting, Milwaukee Police Department District 1 Captain Basting gave a PowerPoint presentation, statistics, and information on a MPD program referred to as "Operation: Code R.E.D., Responsible Entertainment Deployment." The goals of the program were to find proactive solutions, reform ways on policing the downtown entertainment district areas, communicate and form partnerships with tavern owners, and establish tavern groups. MPD investigation in the downtown area found a large population growth, tourism impact of 39,000 full time jobs, 23% robberies and 47% assaults in 2010, reactive MPD responses, low police presence, and a high number of people and disorder. Meetings between the police and bar owners were conducted that resulted in the implementation of effective measures that included: changes in traffic with DNS and DPW; a consistent team of officers working in downtown areas; patrols on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays; and shifting of jail resources to the street. Captain Basting said that the pilot program has been successful and provided for a safe summer. The program resulted in a 40% decrease in aggravated assaults, 76% decrease in armed robberies, and 46.9% decrease in motor vehicle theft. Also, tavern groups were established between Water Street, Milwaukee St, and Third Ward groups. The program is expected to continue, be improved upon, and expand to more areas in the city. (Details of the presentation can be found in the file.)
