The new strategy involves leveraging the resources of the Department of Emergency Communications, which includes the use of aerial surveillance techniques, to provide real-time information to police officers on the ground. According to a Milwaukee Police post, the partnership aims to foster a more effective and efficient response to incidents, enhancing both the safety of the officers and the community they serve.
