MPD North District Town Hall

media release: The Madison Police Department is hosting a series of town hall meetings in every patrol district across the city.

The goal is to directly connect community members with the officers and commanders who serve their neighborhood.

Madison Police Chief John Patterson will also be in attendance to help answer any questions raised by community members.

"Our officers don't just work in this community. They are a part of it. We want people to feel connected to those who serve them, since relationships are key when it comes to public safety," Chief Patterson said.
