In December 2025, the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) became aware of a significant allegation of improper use of its Flock technology by one of our members, Police Officer Josue Ayala. Chief Jeffrey Norman immediately directed the MPD Internal Affairs Division (IAD) to initiate a criminal investigation into the misconduct and place Officer Ayala on full suspension pending the outcome of said internal investigation.
