Making changes: New policies for MPD after officer-involved shooting at Children's
WAUWATOSA (WITI) -- The Milwaukee Police Department is making changes -- prompted by the officer-involved shooting incident that occurred at Children's Hospital that occurred on November 14th, 2013.Milwaukee's Fire and Police Commission is set to meet on Thursday night, June 5th -- and they will take a look at the Critical Incident Review Board's findings from that officer-involved shooting.On November 14th, Milwaukee police received a call that 23-year-old Ashanti Hendricks was at Children's Hospital -- and there's a warrant for his arrest.Two MPD officers headed to the hospital, and approached Hendricks as he was holding an infant.Hendricks dropped the child and attempted to flee -- pulling out a handgun as officers chased him to a dead-end hallway.There, one of the officers fired two shots -- striking Hendricks in the hand.He was eventually taken into custody.A review of this incident is prompting MPD to make some changes.According to a summary from the Critical Incident Review Board, Children's Hospital grounds are partly in Milwaukee and partly in Wauwatosa -- but patrolled and staffed by the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office.On the day of the shooting incident, the summary says "no one notified the Wauwatosa police or the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office -- which staffs deputies at the hospital complex."Additionally, the summary says "upon arrival at Children's Hospital, the officers asked security for directions to the room -- without informing security of the reason for their presence.""The changes that we've implemented as a result of the Children's hospital incident do not just apply to Children's Hospital but they apply to how Milwaukee police officers respond to every incident at every hospital in the Milwaukee area," Michael Tobin, the Executive Director of the Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission said.Milwaukee police officers will now be notifying hospital security when they respond to a hospital.They'll also be contacting the Sheriff's Office when they're headed to a facility within county grounds."I think one of the big takeaways is that when we did the review of the incident we found areas that needed improvement and we took action to fix those areas," Tobin said.Other recommendations include continued training in active shooter response for MPD members.Ashanti Hendricks is set to stand trial in this case.He'll be in court on June 30th for a pre-trial conference hearing.
