WISN - TSU Launches Phase II

To reduce the amount of reckless driving, speeding and vehicular crashes from occurring in the City of Milwaukee, the Milwaukee Police Department created the Traffic Safety Unit (TSU). TSU is committed to a community partnership with the goal of creating a safer Milwaukee through the “Three E’s” by enforcing traffic laws (Enforcement), educating and partnering with the community in solving traffic problems (Education), and recommending traffic-engineering changes (Engineering). TSU introduces a second phase of TSU initiative, which is a billboard campaign. Billboards where donated by a Wisconsin business that wants to remain anonymous. They contain a message to discourage reckless driving and how to report reckless driving to the TSU. TSU also launching public facing data of TSU activity. The data will be available to the public to continue to promote our commitment to being transparent with our community. The data is available on the MPDTSU.org website. Stolen Autos / Steering Wheel Locks (Clubs) TSU wants to thank several community partners which include the Milwaukee Police Foundation, Interstate Parking, Anti-Vehicle Crime Association of Wisconsin and O’Reilly Auto Parts made monetary donations towards the purchase of steering wheel locks, to help prevent stolen autos. Law enforcement cannot combat this issue alone. We all play an important role to ending reckless driving; therefore, we are asking that our residents and community partners discuss the dangers of reckless driving with their peers and acquaintances to discourage them from engaging in this type of activity in our city. MPD is committed to collaborating with community and system partners to combat reckless driving together. To be part of the solution and report reckless driving at MPDTSU.Org.
