Police Step Up Traffic Enforcement In Milwaukee

Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn says his officers will step up their traffic enforcement from now until the end of the year. That’s after a pair of crashes this past weekend which involved a stolen S-U-V and another car used in an armed robbery. Two Milwaukee officers were injured in a crash involving the robbery vehicle, and five people were hurt in the other mishap — which involved a stolen S-U-V that was racing on a northwest side roadway. As of October second, Milwaukee had 47 traffic deaths in the first nine months of the year — just ten fewer than all of last year. Also, about 400 people have been injured in crashes in the state’s largest city.
