MPD used 40 homicide detectives to find a stolen violin!

With all the homicides in Milwaukee, Chief Flynn gave the order to  use 40 homicide detectives over the course of 10 days to search for a stolen VIOLIN!

"The case comes after years of Flynn downsizing the detective corps, from the department's full strength of nearly 250 to about 150. The chief recently promoted a class of about 30 detectives, but the department is still short about 60 to 70 detectives, according to Michael Crivello, head of the Milwaukee Police Association."

"There was an impact on court cases, according to the sources. Detectives were not available to meet with prosecutors preparing for trials. It didn't result in any suspects being released, but it slowed the prosecution, they said.

Milwaukee Assistant District Attorney Mark Williams, head of the homicide unit, declined to comment."
