“That information is inaccurate and we were not contacted to verify that information,” the release said.
According to the Milwaukee Police Department, the date in question for District Seven had multiple people on staff, but the lineup didn’t reflect all squads on assignment.
“District Seven had three hospital guards to staff, two sick calls, three limited duty officers inside, one officer on other excused union time and one at drone training,” the Milwaukee Police Department said.
According to the release, District Seven had a two-person captain’s car, another patrol car taking assignments and a late shift officer stayed over.
No additional details were provided.
