Statement from MPA President Alex Ayala on Flock Camera System Policy

The Milwaukee Police Association understands the need for appropriate safeguards governing the use of Flock cameras and other law enforcement technology.

We do not condone the misuse of law enforcement tools for personal, improper, or unauthorized purposes. Officers entrusted with access to these systems have a responsibility to use them only for legitimate law enforcement purposes, and those who violate that trust must be held accountable.

At the same time, Flock cameras have proven to be a valuable investigative tool for officers working to solve crimes and protect the people of Milwaukee. We appreciate that the City’s response recognizes the difference between misuse of a tool and the legitimate use of that tool by the overwhelming majority of officers who follow the rules.

Reasonable safeguards and accountability can coexist with giving police officers the technology they need to do their jobs effectively. The MPA believes that is the appropriate balance.

110 years ago, the Marine Corps Reserve was created for a war the United States had not entered yet.

President Woodrow Wilson signed the Naval Appropriations Act on August 29, 1916. The logic was simple: if America was pulled into World War I, it would need trained Marines ready to move without months of lead time. Congress built the Reserve to guarantee that.

It worked. Reserve Marines went on to serve in every major American conflict since, from Belleau Wood to Iraq and Afghanistan, alongside disaster response, humanitarian missions, and community work like Toys for Tots.

Today it is the largest command in the Marine Corps, roughly 40,000 drilling Marines strong, made up of people balancing full civilian lives with full military readiness.

Members of this association do the same thing every week. We know exactly what that takes.

Share this post to recognize 110 years of Reserve Marines.

The most dangerous part of a child's school day happens before the first bell and after the last one.

NHTSA data shows more school-age pedestrians are killed between 6 and 8 in the morning and between 3 and 5 in the afternoon than during any other hours of the day. Those are exactly the windows when kids are walking to stops, cutting across parking lots, and heading home with headphones in.

A few things worth saying out loud to any child walking to school this year. Use the sidewalk whenever there is one. If there is not, walk facing traffic so you can see what is coming. Cross at corners and marked crossings, never between parked cars. And put the phone away for the length of the walk, because a driver who is not paying attention needs you to be the one who is.

Our members will be on those routes when the year starts. We are glad to be there.

Comment with the age of the kid in your life heading back to class.

There is no medal a service member volunteers for. The Purple Heart is the one nobody wants to earn.

It is awarded for being wounded or killed in action against an enemy of the United States. Not for valor. Not for leadership. For bearing the cost.

Established by George Washington on August 7, 1782 as the Badge of Military Merit and revived as the Purple Heart in 1932, it is the oldest military decoration still awarded in the United States. The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor estimates roughly 1.8 million have been given out, though records from the early years are incomplete. Approximately 430,000 were awarded posthumously.

Many members of this association are veterans. Some carry this decoration. Some lost friends who earned it the hardest way possible.

Today, and every day, we honor them.

Tag a Purple Heart recipient or a family member who carries that legacy in the comments.

Happy 236th birthday to the United States Coast Guard.

On August 4, 1790, at the request of Alexander Hamilton, Congress authorized the construction of ten cutters to patrol the young nation's coastline. That small fleet, originally called the Revenue Cutter Service, became the oldest continuous seagoing service in the United States.

Here is a detail most people never learn: from 1790 until the Navy was reestablished in 1798, those ten cutters were the only armed maritime force this country had. Eight years where the entire defense of the American coast rested on a handful of ships and the people who crewed them.

Today the Coast Guard carries out eleven statutory missions, from search and rescue to maritime law enforcement to environmental protection. Different tools, same job.

To everyone who has served, thank you for 236 years of standing watch.

Tag a Coast Guard veteran in the comments who deserves recognition today.

🎄 It is Christmas in July, and we are not letting the day slide by unnoticed.

The tradition dates all the way back to 1933, when a girls' summer camp in North Carolina decided that December was too long to wait for the magic of Christmas. They strung up decorations, sang carols, and called it Christmas in July. The idea stuck.

For the members of this association, who spend so much of the real holiday season working through it, this is a chance to enjoy a little of that holiday spirit during a quieter season.

Comment below with one thing you would put under a tree in July if you could. We will start: a nap.
