MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — During a stop in Milwaukee Tuesday, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland touted the success an anti-violent crime strategy his office has implemented in Wisconsin.
“For this US Attorney’s Office, that has meant working with state, local and tribal enforcement, as well as with our federal partner agencies to stop the flow of fentanyl into Wisconsin communities here in Milwaukee and across the country, this work is paying off,” said Garland.
Recent data from the Milwaukee Police Department shows a 10% drop in overall crime, and a 39% drop in homicides in the first quarter of this year compared to the first three months of 2023.
