MPD hosting series of community conversations on public safety

MADISON, Wis. - The Madison Police Department is hosting a series of town hall meetings in every patrol district across the city.

The goal of each district is to directly connect community members with the officers and commanders who serve their neighborhood.

Madison Police Chief John Patterson will also be in attendance to help answer any questions raised by community members.
