MPD releases 2024 Annual Report
posted
It is a long-standing tradition for the Madison Police Department to share its annual report with the community. In 2024, the MPD remained committed to our mission statement, “We, the members of the Madison Police Department, are committed to providing high-quality police services that are accessible to all members of the community. We believe in the dignity of all people and respect individual and constitutional rights in fulfilling this mission.”
Last year was not without hardship for MPD. Shortly before Christmas, officers were called to Abundant Life Christian School for an active shooter. Sadly, two lives were lost during this incident and six people were injured when a student opened fire inside a classroom. Officers rushed to the scene to confront the threat, and many detectives are still working on the case today. To the ALCS family, MPD and the community still stand with you.
During 2024, the Madison Police Department’s highlights include:
- Conducting a 90-day Body-Worn Camera Pilot Program
- Staffing Dignitary visits to Madison during the 2024 Presidential Election, which led to receiving a Team City award in 2025.
- Sending Officers from SET, SWAT and Mounted to Milwaukee to assist with the Republic National Convention.
- Creating the Madison Proximity Project to allow officers and community members to learn more about each other.
Along with these highlights, individuals at all levels of MPD participated in outreach efforts across the city of Madison. This year will look a bit different for MPD as we are piloting a new detective structure centered around bureaus. Just like in 2024, MPD is committed to building a safer, stronger and healthier Madison.
