Starting June 1, 2024, Wisconsin residents have the option to add one emergency contact to their record. This contact information could be available to law enforcement agencies in the event that you are in a collision or are experiencing a medical emergency. This information may save crucial time if ever it becomes necessary to contact your family members or other loved ones.
As part of every application for a Wisconsin driver license or ID card, the applicant will be asked if they would like to include emergency contact information in their file. Adding the information is voluntary. Learn more at: https://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/dmv/license-drvs/how-to-apply/Emergency-contact.aspx
Professionalism
- posts/stories highlighting our training, members and staff.
Members of the Milwaukee Retired Police Association (MRPA) toured the Milwaukee Police Department Specialized Patrol Division!
The MRPA began in 1975 when a number of retired cops got together to form an organization with the goal of keeping in touch with each other after serving years together.
They are celebrating their 49th year anniversary with over 1200 members from coast to coast ranging in age from 42 to 98.
Thank you for your MANY YEARS of service to the MKECommunity. 🚔💙
