Rountable with local Chiefs of Police
Six chiefs of police met with the delegation at the neighboring Greendale Police Department to discuss inter-agency collaboration and coordination, getting the community involved in public safety, the concept of a Citizens Police Academy, recruiting and training of new officers, private sector policing, and school programs. A tour of the Greendale police station was given.

Rountable on School Safety
An open exchange took place between the delegation and six Greenfield High School students, the School Liaison Officer (Detective Doug Tweedie), the GHS School Principal (Dr. Kery Kafka), and Jay Navoni (Milwaukee Public Schools Safety and Security). Many questions were raised such as communication WITH and counseling of students and parents, partnerships with school district and police, safety of students on school grounds, ticketing, and searches (weapons scan, lockers, random dog searches). The students asked the delegation many questions regarding uniforms in Ukrainian schools, discipline, religion, and curfews. The rash of school shootings over the last 5 years in the US was also an interesting topic of discussion.

Domestic Violence Rountables
The delegation learned about how the issue of domestic violence is addressed and responded to in the US through an in-depth discussion with the panel. The panel touched on the recent history of DV response in the US, the description of all possible DV cases, children as victims, the concept of a police social worker, the cycle of violence, and the batterer's need for power and control. In addition, four representatives of organizations that assist victims of domestic violence discussed their role in dealing with this debilitating social issue. They answered questions about their collaboration with the police, social service organizations, and government welfare. The delegation asked for more information about the Violence Against Women Act, criminal penalties and imprisonment for batterers, shelters and housing, hot lines, probable cause, schooling for abused children, education and training for abused women, restraining orders, and collaboration with police, the prosecutor's office, the courts, and community organizations. The panel also asked the Ukrainian delegation many questions, from the repatriation of Tatars in Crimea to the roots of DV in Ukraine.

Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC)
Vincent Vitale, Assistant Dean of the Police Science Department of MATC talked to the delegation about MATC's Police Science Program, the police curriculum, its in-service training, specialized training (SWAT, EVOC, firearms, etc.), and management training for supervisors. The delegation was surprised to learn that MATC has 65,000 students on four campuses, and that MATC serves as a police academy for citizens and police officers alike. The delegation also received vehicle and firearms training.

Community Crime Prevention Efforts
This session was very comprehensive as it touched upon citizens' involvement in crime prevention, including the training of citizens to patrol their neighborhoods, the promotion of neighborhood watch groups, and other strategies that the police use to create citizen awareness. The decentralized law enforcement system in the US was highlighted throughout the discussion. The panelists explained that each community has developed its own criteria for establishing citizen police academies, school programs, the relationship that the police have with the commercial sector, and the presence and make-up of a Crimestopper commission. This session embodied the essence of Community Policing and could have gone on for days.
