Minutes note: Individuals appearing: Bryan Rynders, Budget and Management Division Chief Edward Flynn, Milwaukee Police Department Joel Plant, Milwaukee Police Department Chuck Murphy, Milwaukee Police Department - IT Section The police department presented its PowerPoint presentation, which can be found in Council file 130517. Ald. Murphy provided members with results of a survey relating to crime analysis personnel vs. sworn officers in other cities. This data is attached to Council file 130517. The police department will provide quantitative data on response time for 9-1-1 calls to the Committee. Ald. Murphy questioned the city's cost for the Harley Davidson celebration, getting some funds from Harley, and Summerfest policing costs. Ald. Hamilton questioned policing costs for taverns. Chief Flynn said that the police are either responding to complaints or data showing that an establishment is the epicenter of complaints. Chief Flynn is cautious about having contracts with bars to provide police services, but he would consider officers contracting with business improvement districts. Ald. Coggs said that the police are often at the clubs on Water Street, but those clubs do not come before the Licenses Committee. Chief Flynn noted that there are thousands of pedestrians on Water Street and some adverse action has been taken on downtown establishments. Ald. Coggs feels that police reports relating to patron behavior are not consistent throughout the City. Ald. Hamilton thought that police districts may be handling bars differently while Ald. Murphy noted that there is no data on this, which would be useful. Ald. Murphy questioned how the police department measures community engagement with the police and that there is a good rapport between the community and the police. The Department will try to have external surveys on this done in 2014. Chief Flynn will provide an estimate of costs to Ald. Murphy prior to budget amendment day.
