Statement of Alderwoman Nikiya Dodd July 2, 2021 By Ald. Nikiya Dodd - Jul 2nd, 2021 02:53 pm
As the 4
th of July holiday is upon us, I want to remind residents of the 5
th District, and those citywide, to show your neighbors courtesy and refrain from setting off fireworks, particularly in our residential areas.
In Milwaukee, it is illegal to possess, sell or discharge fireworks and for good reason. They can cause injuries that are otherwise preventable, disrupt quality of life in our neighborhoods, and can cause anxiety and fear for small children and pets. Residents should know that anyone found by Milwaukee Police or the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office to be in violation of the city ordinance relating to fireworks can face fines of up to $1,000.
The Milwaukee and West Allis police departments operate Crisis Assessment and Response Teams special units that pair behavioral health specialists with uniformed officers to respond to 911 calls for people in a mental health crisis.
Now, the Milwaukee County Sheriff s Office is creating three deputy sheriff positions to deploy with mental health specialists to respond to such crises in the 17 Milwaukee County communities without such services.
The new units will not affect the county tax levy because the $300,000 needed for the positions is being shifted from the Milwaukee County Behavioral Health Division to the sheriff s office a controversial approach that met with some pushback with county supervisors but ultimately passed on a 13-5 vote of the County Board.
