We’re proud of our partnership with Partners with Paws and Steinig Tal K9 Police Academy! Kane has been such an asset to our department, our schools and our community.

🐾 Two Purposes. One Incredible Dog. An Even Greater Impact. 🐾

Did you know Partners with Paws offers Dual Purpose Facility Dogs?

We currently have successful dogs working within school systems who serve as both highly trained facility dogs AND detection dogs!

💙 Facility Dog Work: Our dogs are trained to support students through a variety of specialized tasks designed to help with emotional regulation, anxiety, and overall well-being. These tasks include deep pressure therapy (DPT), tactile stimulation, anxiety response tasks, and other techniques that help students navigate challenging moments throughout their school day.

🐕 Detection Work: Through our partnership with our friends at Steinig Tal K9 Police Academy, these dogs undergo additional specialized training for dual purpose work, including drug and/or fi***rm detection.

By combining these two roles, we’re able to provide schools with dogs who not only offer comfort to students but also contribute to a safer school environment.

We have seen incredible success with our Dual Purpose Facility Dogs and are so excited to continue growing this part of our mission!

🎉 We are hoping to place our 20th facility dog by the end of 2026! This is a milestone we are incredibly proud to be approaching, and we couldn’t do it without the schools, handlers, trainers, and supporters who believe in what these dogs can accomplish.

📩 Interested in learning more about bringing a Dual Purpose Facility Dog to your school district or community?

We would love to connect and share more about our program!

🚗 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. 🚔
