When Cops Retire:
When a good cop leaves the “job” and retires to a better life, many are jealous, some are pleased and yet others, who may have already retired, wonder. We wonder if he knows what he is leaving behind, because we already know. We know, for example, that after a lifetime of camaraderie that few experience, it will remain as a longing for those past times. We know in the law enforcement life there is a fellowship which lasts long after the uniforms are hung up in the back of the closet. We know even if he throws them away, they will be on him with every step and breath that remains in his life. We also know how the very bearing of the man speaks of what he was and in his heart still is.
These are the burdens of the job. You will still look at people suspiciously, still see what others do not see or choose to ignore and always will look at the rest of the law enforcement world with a respect for what they do; only grown in a lifetime of knowing. Never think for one moment you are escaping from that life. You are only escaping the “job” and merely being allowed to leave “active” duty.
So what I wish for you is that whenever you ease into retirement, in your heart you never forget for one moment that “Blessed are the Peacemakers for they shall be called children of God”, and you are still a member of the greatest fraternity the world has ever known.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A THERAPY DOG HANDLER?
By Member Linda Bobot
I am reaching out to MPD retirees to see who may be interested in therapy dog training. Therapy dog teams respond to traumatic events to offer comfort to the people affected by it but what most don’t think about is it’s not only citizens who are affected by trauma; police officers are, too. Frequent exposure to traumatic events leaves a mark that is not easily pushed away and a benefit to active duty members who have opportunities to interact with therapy dog teams is when the handler is a retired MPD officer. Who else has the ability to understand the complexity of the emotions being expressed or held back? Certainly another police officer but amazingly, also a therapy dog who has the ability to connect without saying a word. Therapy dog training requires a dog who wants the job. The dog and handler must both pass an evaluation provided by a therapy dog organization such as Pet Partners: www.petpartners.org. If you would like to learn more about therapy dogs and training please contact me: Linda M. Bobot The Teacher’s Pet Dog Training LLCHAVEN, Inc.; Hounds And Vets Empowered Now 414-282-7534

PADDY WAGON – By Fred Haas
Please be advised that on Sunday, October 6th, 2019, the Milwaukee Police American Legion Post 415, took their iconic Paddy Wagon to the Downtown West Allis Car Show. This has to be one of the biggest and largest car shows in Wisconsin. Beautiful classic, custom and antique cars were lined up on W. Greenfield Ave. from 76th street to 70th street and on the side streets. Approximately 500 vehicles were on display. I estimated the crowd to be at least 5,000 or more during this event. Over 2,000 people stopped to view our 1948 Plymouth “Dare program” Milwaukee Squad car and our 1935 original Milwaukee Police Patrol Wagon “Paddy Wagon”, to ask questions, take pictures or just drool over these beautiful vehicles. Darrell, Rich and Fred were busy the entire time explaining the history of our two vehicles, letting numerous kids and adults have their pictures taken with the paddy wagon, giving the kids souvenirs of the Milwaukee Police Department, and in general a very exhausting fun filled day. We even had a group of aspiring young photographers and models take photos with our wagon, and the local West Allis TV station interviewed us for future broadcast on the cities TV channel.
Needless to say the 10 hour day by the three old Musketeers, Darrell Malmarowski, Rich Thompson and Fred Haas was fun filled, exhausting, exciting and gratifying. When it was all over, we received the BEST news that anyone could get… Milwaukee Police Post 415’s Paddy Wagon was named BEST of CLASS and received a beautiful plaque.
First place is GREAT! Thank you all for supporting our classic wagon and the efforts by Post 415 to continue to Serve God and Country.
| FALLEN BUT NOT FORGOTTEN HELP PRESERVE THE MEMORY OF OUR FALLEN POLICE OFFICERS |
| How You Can Help The Milwaukee Police Historical Society is seeking $100,000 to build a new memorial wall inside the Safety Academy. The new memorial would provide ample space to honor our fallen heroes and revere them in an in-depth way. Visitors to the memorial would be able to access information on each officer, including who they were and how they lived, from an interactive kiosk. These narratives about their lives and service would also be available through an app for off-site guests. No contribution is too small. Help us reach our goal and bring this project to fruition. The newly designed Fallen Officers Memorial is an opportunity to show our gratitude to the families of our fallen heroes, as well as to the officers who are committed to serving and protecting our community. “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends FIND OUT MORE BY CLICKING LINK |
| The Milwaukee Police Historical Society is committed to honoring the memory of our fallen heroes with a new memorial. Sadly, the list of fallen officers in MPD’s history has outgrown the available space on the existing memorial at the Milwaukee Safety Academy, 6680 N Teutonia Avenue. And, with three officers lost in the line of duty in the last year, our request comes with increasing urgency. |
