Madison Police Targets Unsafe Driving in District 19: As part of the City of Madison Police Department's ongoing traffic enforcement initiative, officers from the Midtown Police District and the Traffic Enforcement Safety Team (TEST) conducted a focused traffic operation on June 27th and July 1, 2025. The goal: improve pedestrian and bike safety while addressing aggressive driving behavior--specifically speeding and seat belt usage. The enforcement took place on S. Whitney Way at South Hill Drive, a corridor known for its pedestrian activity and a posted speed limit of 25 mph. Between 3 PM and 7 PM, on two separate dates, officers were stationed along the corridor.  This included a team of officers and a laser operator monitoring southbound traffic from a strategic position. There were a total of 45 traffic stops.

Madison Police Continue Investigation of District 19 Firearms Violation: On Thursday morning, July 10. the Madison Police Department - Violent Crime Unit, and Madison SWAT personnel served a residential search warrant in the 10 block of Kessel Court, in an effort to locate evidence in what is believed to be related weapons offenses/shootings. A resident was taken into custody on an unrelated warrant. All officers and subjects present during the warrant service were unharmed and the investigation is ongoing.
