Coffee with a Cop

press release: How many cops does Madison need? Do we have too many, too few, or just right?  How do we make best use of the one’s we have? Should more of our officers work in patrol, more as detectives, or more in neighborhoods? And how in the world can we get the next crop of FIFTY new officers ready to serve Madison? That’s a lot of turnover!

This month’s Coffee With a Cop will give us a chance to discuss those questions and maybe get some answers. Our very special “guest star” this month is Assistant Chief Vic Wahl.  Chief Wahl is MPD’s subject matter expert on all things staffing.  He has been the lead on several staffing studies over the years, tasked with finding the right balance of officers to the growing needs of the city. 

In addition, under Chief Wahl’s umbrella are all of MPD’s Investigative and Specialized Services.  These include supervision of Dane County Narcotics Task Force, Forensics Services, Investigations, SWAT, Traffic, Property and Evidence, and Professional Standards.
