County Executive David Crowley

It was an honor to join the Milwaukee County War Memorial Center this Veterans Day for the rededication of the Southeastern Wisconsin Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Let us honor those who served not only today, but every day, and always strive to be worthy of their sacrifice. 🇺🇸

Today, we honor the men and women who have served this country with courage and sacrifice. To every veteran in Milwaukee County and across the nation: thank you. We see you, we honor you, and we are grateful for you today and every day. 🇺🇸

Still riding the high from yesterday. 💙💛 What a celebration, what a team, and what a community! Thank you, Brewers, and thank you to the fans who made it unforgettable. We are the champions! 🏆

The first EVER Milwaukee @Brewers World Series win deserves some official congratulations, don't you think? Let's Go Crew!!!! 🏆

THE MILWAUKEE @BREWERS ARE WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!! ⚾️🏆 What a season. A franchise-record 103 wins. The best record in baseball for the second straight year. The first National League pennant in 44 years. And the first World Series championship in franchise history! #WinOurWay

Let's Go Brewers! ⚾️ Time to make history. #WinOurWay

The Brewers are headed to the World Series! 🎉 ⚾️ Three years ago, I worked alongside @GovEvers, @MayorMKE, and a bipartisan group of lawmakers to deliver a promise that the Milwaukee Brewers would continue to call Milwaukee home through 2050. Moments like this are why that work mattered. Milwaukee, this one is for you. Now let’s bring it home! Go Brewers! #WinOurWay

It's game day, Milwaukee! 🧹🧹🧹🧹 LET'S PLAY SOME BASEBALL AND GET SOME HOME RUNS!! ⚾️⚾️ #WinOurWay #ThisIsMyCrew

Across the country, the use of Flock cameras and automated license plate readers, or ALPRs, has sparked a fierce backlash that crosses political lines. Residents and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are asking whether the convenience of this technology is worth the cost to our privacy, and who is accountable for how it is used. We should not have to wait for a data breach or a scandal to get those answers. That's why today I signed legislation to remove Flock camera equipment from Milwaukee County park property and why I have removed funding to renew our contract in 2027. I recognize the value camera surveillance can offer our public safety partners, and I appreciate the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office for working in good faith to strengthen accountability in its policy framework. But even the strongest policy framework is only as trustworthy as the company behind the technology. “It hasn’t happened here yet” is not a good enough reason to keep this technology in place. We must be able to deliver both public safety and public trust, and we cannot build one by sacrificing the other. Today, Milwaukee County is choosing to put our residents first. And I will keep making that choice, every day, in every decision.

Today, on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the Indigenous nations whose history, sovereignty, and contributions shape Milwaukee County. We sit on the ancestral homelands of the Ho-Chunk Nation, the Forest County Potawatomi, and the Menominee Nation. Milwaukee County is stronger because of our tribal nations and the partnerships we’ve built together. Let us honor their legacy and celebrate the remarkable contributions Native people continue to make in our community today and every day.

I always say that every day is a good day, but today is a great day for Milwaukee County and the State of Wisconsin. I joined @GovEvers and state and local leaders to officially open the new Forensic Sciences and Protective Medicine Facility on the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center Campus! This state-of-the-art facility is jointly owned by Milwaukee County and the State of Wisconsin, bringing together the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office and Office of Emergency Management, the Wisconsin Department of Justice’s Milwaukee Crime Lab, and Versiti’s Organ Procurement Organization and Tissue Bank under one roof. This is far more than a new building. It streamlines operations, strengthens collaboration, and improves our region’s ability to respond to public safety challenges. It's also an investment in the people behind the work: the forensic scientists, medical examiners, dispatchers, and emergency managers who serve our community every day. The facility advances our vision of making Milwaukee County the healthiest county in Wisconsin and reflects what's possible when government and healthcare organizations are joined in a shared mission to serve our community. When we bring our ideas, expertise, and resources together, we can truly deliver for the residents who depend on us for generations to come.

💙⚾️This Is My Crew ⚾️💛 It's time for October baseball in Milwaukee! Our Brew Crew takes on the Padres tonight in Game 1, and all of Milwaukee County is ready to cheer them on! Whether you're in the stands or cheering from your couch, let's show our team some support! Let's go, @brewers!

I just finished presenting my 2027 Recommended Budget to the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors. This budget has been built during a moment in our county’s history that demands tough decisions and a clear view of what our residents need. I am proud to present a balanced budget for 2027, closing a projected $50 million gap while preserving the County services our residents rely on. I want to recognize and appreciate the Milwaukee County leaders and Changemakers for their continued dedication to our residents and for approaching a challenging budget with creativity and discipline. I look forward to engaging in good faith with our County Board Supervisors so that, together, we can deliver real results for the people we serve. 📺Watch my full budget address: youtube.com/watch?v=xvnUjRPk… 📑Read my 2027 Recommended Budget: county.milwaukee.gov/EN/Stra…

This is what it looks like to lift up our community. Today, we officially opened the doors to the Phoenix Residential Apartments, a first-of-its-kind affordable housing and crisis respite development in Milwaukee's Uptown neighborhood. By bringing critical services together under one roof, through a partnership with Aurora Health Care, we're able to bridge the gap between housing insecurity and behavioral health needs. Thank you to @mkecodhhs Housing Services, KG Development, and all the organizations who made this groundbreaking development possible. We don’t do this work alone, and these invaluable partnerships make our community stronger and healthier.

Twenty-five years ago today, we lost nearly 3,000 lives in an act of terror that changed our nation forever. The images we saw and the shock, fear, and heartbreak we felt remain etched in our collective memory. To the firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and first responders who ran toward danger without hesitation to save others: Thank you. The courage you displayed that day is the truest form of heroism. To our veterans and active-duty service members, many of whom served in the wake of 9/11: Your sacrifice, and the sacrifices made by your families, remind us of the true cost of freedom. Today, Milwaukee County pauses to remember every victim, every family left behind, and every act of courage shown that morning and in the days that followed. May we honor those we lost not only with our words today, but with our actions each and every day. We will never forget. We will always honor. And together, here in Milwaukee County and across the nation, we will always move forward with hope. 🇺🇸

Today, I signed legislation approving $7.5 million in Opioid Settlement Funds for eight initiatives aimed at reducing opioid and substance use disorder, expanding treatment and prevention services, and saving lives. The opioid crisis has devastated families, strained our systems, and disproportionately harmed communities of color across our county. We've made measurable progress in this fight, and the projects approved in this next cohort build on that momentum, directing resources to the programs best positioned to reach people where they are. There is still work to be done, and my administration is committed to spending these funds responsibly and effectively, because no family should experience the pain of losing someone to overdose Learn more about the eight projects funded for fiscal years 2027-2029 here ➡ county.milwaukee.gov/EN/Coun…

Public safety partners should have the right tools to keep Milwaukee County safe, but unchecked surveillance isn’t the answer. We have seen what can happen when this technology operates without clear rules, transparency, and accountability. Protecting our residents' privacy and maintaining the public's trust is a responsibility I take seriously. That is why I am directing all County departments to limit the usage of all Flock camera systems and establish safeguards proactively, before a breach of public trust can occur.
