MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Twelve Milwaukee alders are raising new concerns about the use of Flock Safety technology. 

They sent an open letter to Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman, the Milwaukee Police Department, and the Fire and Police Commission (FPC) Tuesday, Aug. 25, noting multiple incidents of abuse by law enforcement officers. 

"This is an urgent moment," they wrote, "and a problem that will not correct itself."

The letter urges the FPC to review a list of proposed reforms and provide recommendations. 

MPD responded with the following statement Wednesday, Aug. 26:

"The Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) respects and values the concerns and positions of our elected officials. We will work with the FPC to address our Council members’ concerns and respond to the Council after we have carefully reviewed their request and can provide a factual and thoughtful response. The exchange of information, positions and ideas between MPD and our elected officials is important as we both serve the same community. MPD is committed to transparency and engaging in important dialogue such as this."
