MPD Seeking Community Input on Policing

The Madison Police Department is in the process of setting a long-range strategic plan. MPD has enlisted the Matrix Consulting Group to assist in developing the plan, which covers 5-7 years. MPD is seeking community input throughout this process. One method of doing this is through virtual community focus group meetings facilitated by our outside consultants. These meetings will provide opportunities for community members to provide input on MPD's long-range strategic plan. 

Each one of MPD's six patrol districts will host a meeting. The meeting will cover broad themes on topics such as community trust, the role of police, community policing, crime and safety, and police staffing.

Below is a list of dates and times for each district's meeting:

North District: April 4, 6:30 - 8 p.m.
East District: April 5, 6:30 - 8 p.m.
Central District: April 7, 6:30 - 8 p.m.

Department of Transportation Public Meetings about the Beltline Corridor Study 

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation Southwest Region has scheduled two public involvement meetings to discuss the Planning and Environment Linkages (PEL) corridor study underway for the Madison Beltline. The Madison Beltline PEL study is a long-term planning study, and no construction projects are identified at this time.  

Input from the upcoming PEL study public involvement meetings will be utilized to identify a range of potential long-term solutions to address local and regional safety, accessibility, and mobility issues along the Madison Beltline corridor between US 14 in Middleton and County N in Cottage Grove.
