Polygraph test proposed to pre-screen police recruits
An initiative written by a group of retired FBI agents and law enforcement officials proposes polygraph tests to identify racial bias and prejudice.
MILWAUKEE - Police and community relations have been under a microscope following incidents of police brutality across the nation and in southeastern Wisconsin.
One initiative now recommends screening police recruits with a polygraph examination to identify racial bias and prejudice
before they re given a badge.
The matter was even briefly addressed in a Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission (FPC) committee meeting on Thursday, Jan. 14.

Milwaukee FPC suspends police chief search
The decision to suspend the search comes after the commission twice attempted to vote on a new chief, both times resulting in a tie.
MILWAUKEE - In its first meeting of 2021, The Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission (FPC) on Thursday, Jan. 7 suspended its search for a permanent police chief, Chair Nelson Soler said.
In explaining the decision, Soler said the commission cannot continue to rely on verbal advice from the city attorney s office on whether it can do the search while former Chief Alfonso Morales still has litigation pending.

The City of Milwaukee is poised to shell out hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars as a result of a lawsuit filed by former police chief
Alfonso Morales after the Fire & Police Commission unanimously demoted him in August. But the part-time commissioners responsible could all continue to serve.

Last week Urban Milwaukee’s indefatigable reporter
Jeramey Jannene, who covers City Hall among other beats, had one of his better tweets:
“Milwaukee has two, maybe three, possibly as many five police chiefs after a court ruling Friday afternoon.”
The court ruled that former Milwaukee Police Chief
Alfonso Morales had been demoted from the position without due process and could in theory reclaim the job. Meanwhile
