| When a new recruit comes on "the job" it becomes the field training officer's duty to pass down the many traditions of the agency to this new member. Milwaukee's Finest hopes to carry on that task and capture that history and tradition through the photos and stories collected on these pages as told by the MPD's many proud members. Milwaukee's Finest was created to preserve the rich tradition of this great agency by organizing this information on its pages. We are looking for past and present members to share your stories, comments, and photos. We are not perfect but through research and your help we will try to be as accurate on the facts presented on these pages as possible. This site is always a work in progress. The Milwaukee Police Department is made up of men and women who have great pride in their agency and it's great history. Please share that pride. *Milwaukee's Finest is not affiliated with, nor connected in any way to the Milwaukee Police Department or any other related organization. |

| ITEM 2: A long overdue acknowledgement goes out to Maralyn Wellauer-Lenius and her book Milwaukee Police Department-Images of America. Her father was a patrolman on the MPD from 1934 to 1962. It is an excellent collection of history and photos and was used to research much of the information on this site. We highly recommend this book for those interested in further information on the Milwaukee Police Department. To purchase a copy just click on the book and it will take you to the Arcadia Publishing site. |

Fall out...and be safe!!! |
District 5 Scrapbook. We were contacted by retired Patrolman Larry Koralewski who
has provided the site a large amount of pictures of the men and women of District Five
from the 1970's. This page will be getting updated over the next few months as Larry
continues to send in more photos. If you worked at Five during this time or had family or
friends who worked there check out the page. It is a rare glimpse into life on the MPD
during the decade of the 70's. Just click on Larry's picture or on the highlighted link to get
there and enjoy the memories.
