During the recent Village Board meeting on July 21, 2025, the Menomonee Falls Police Department presented its quarterly report, highlighting significant staffing changes and ongoing recruitment efforts. Chief Waters reported that the department welcomed one new officer, Matthew Curran, an experienced sergeant from the Muskego Police Department. However, the department also faced challenges, including the retirement of a lieutenant with over 32 years of service and three resignations, leaving the department with 61 of the 65 authorized sworn officers.

The report indicated that the department is actively working to fill vacancies, including one sergeant and four officer positions, while also managing three members currently on military leave. Chief Waters emphasized the lengthy training process for new hires, noting that the three new recruits scheduled to start at the end of the month will not be fully operational until late April 2026.

In addition to staffing updates, the Chief discussed the department's fleet management, revealing plans to replace vehicles with the acquisition of three Ford police interceptors and one Chevy Tahoe for traffic enforcement. Training remains a priority, with 57 personnel participating in various training programs, including crisis intervention and cybercrime.

The meeting underscored the ongoing efforts of the Menomonee Falls Police Department to maintain adequate staffing levels and ensure officer preparedness, which are crucial for community safety and effective law enforcement. As recruitment continues, the department aims to reach its authorized strength to better serve the community.
