Statement of Common Council President Cavalier Johnson June 3, 2021
Yesterday it was reported that Milwaukee’s Acting Police Chief
Jeffrey Norman is a candidate for the police chief position in neighboring Wauwatosa. Upon hearing this news I could only think, it would be tragic and a mistake for our city to lose such a talented and dedicated individual to a municipality that is literally across the street.
Acting Chief Norman’s resume speaks for itself. He’s a Milwaukee native, has a nearly 20 year background in law, and has 25 years of experience in law enforcement in a variety of capacities. On top of all of this, he is well respected by the community, his fellow officers, as well as members of both the Common Council and the Fire and Police Commission.

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) – Milwaukee police are investigating a double shooting that happened on Sunday, May 2 around 11:30 p.m. near Midtown Center at 60th and Capitol. The victims, a 23-year-old and a 21-year-old, were taken to a hospital for treatment.
Acting Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman said more than 300 gun shots were fired at the scene, which video on social media showed as crowded with young people in cars playing music, dancing and socializing. The location is often referred to as ‘Club Midtown’ because of the gatherings.
Acting Chief Norman said the amount of shots fired in a span of minutes is unlike anything he has investigated before.
