Noted: On Wednesday, Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn joined a few dozen law enforcement officials at a meeting with Vice President Joe Biden in Washington to talk about the stimulus package.
“The ‘money quote’ (from Biden) was ‘the federal government has a role to play’ in local law enforcement, that ‘now we’re back in the game.’ That was music to our ears,” Flynn said after the meeting, referring to an estimated $4 billion in law enforcement grants for localities in the package.
Also present was Susan Riseling, police chief for the University of Wisconsin-Madison and an officer of the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
