MADISON, Wis. Newly appointed Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said he has a top goal in mind as the new leader of 479 commissioned officers: building trust with the community and remaining transparent.
In 2020, after social and racial justice movements sparked across the country, it posed a major question regarding police’s role in the community: Should police respond to mental health related calls?
Barnes said, “Is someone better equipped to handle mental health calls than the police? The answer is yes. The answer is everyone. Everyone together is the best person to handle mental health calls. Not just the police by themselves. Not just mental health workers by themselves. Not just clinicians or psychologists by themselves. But everyone together.” ....

Madison Common Council kicks can down the road on new homeless shelter


Madison Common Council kicks can down the road on new homeless shelter
In a 16-1 vote, Madison’s common council punted a decision on a new, east side homeless shelter to May fourth. The property, located on Zeier Road near the East Towne Mall, will cost the city an estimated $2.6 million, plus an additional $400,000 for related acquisition costs.
The council’s decision came around 2:00 AM, after hours of emotional public input and tense exchanges notably between Alder Samba Baldeh and Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway.
Baldeh, who represents the district the proposed shelter will be located in, was the only alder to vote against rescheduling. By the council’s May 4th meeting, he will have ended his term on the council.  ....
