Milwaukee offers $10,000 bonus to attract police officers, aiming to meet staffing requirements.

Milwaukee is offering a $10,000 bonus to attract experienced police officers from other cities to join its force, aiming to meet state requirements for increased staffing. The initiative, part of efforts to address a national decline in law enforcement recruitment, requires officers to commit to four years with the Milwaukee Police Department. The city must maintain staffing levels to avoid losing state funding under Act 12.
