🚗 ATTENTION WEST MILWAUKEE RESIDENTS & BUSINESS OWNERS

The Village of West Milwaukee has special parking regulations in place for the American Family Field Event Area and the Congested Commuter Residential Area.

We understand that these regulations can impact residents and employees of local businesses, particularly businesses that do not have sufficient off-street parking.

To help address this issue, the Village offers a Congested Parking Permit.

📍 Who can qualify?
At the discretion of the Chief of Police, local businesses and residents located within either designated area may obtain parking permits for events at the Stadium.

📋 Important information:

* Permits are intended for residents and employees of businesses in the immediate area.
* All other posted parking regulations and restrictions must still be followed.
* A permit does not guarantee or reserve a parking space.
* Unauthorized use of a permit may result in the revocation of the permit.

Residents and business owners located within the affected areas that may need parking accommodations are encouraged to speak with a Clerk at the West Milwaukee Police Department for more information.

Thank you for helping us keep parking accessible and our neighborhoods safe and orderly. 🚔

GO BREWERS! ⚾️

Today, we proudly recognize National Women in Law Enforcement Day.

We are especially proud to recognize the two female officers and our female Chief of Police who serve the West Milwaukee community with professionalism, courage, and dedication.

Women in law enforcement bring invaluable perspectives, strength, compassion, and leadership to the profession. Their commitment to protecting and serving others makes a lasting difference; not only within our department, but throughout our community.

Thank you for answering the call, leading by example, and serving West Milwaukee with pride. We are grateful for everything you do. 💙

Happy National Women in Law Enforcement Day! 👮‍♀️🇺🇸

🇺🇸 25 Years Later, We Remember

Today marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001.

We remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost that day and the countless families, friends, and communities forever changed.

We honor the courage and sacrifice of the first responders who ran toward danger while others were running away. Among them were 343 FDNY firefighters, 37 Port Authority Police officers, and 23 NYPD officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to others.

Twenty-five years later, their courage, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting others continue to inspire those who wear the badge today.

We remember their names.
We honor their sacrifice.
We will never forget. 🇺🇸
