This month marks the 22nd anniversary of the dedication of the ‪#‎Milwaukie‬ Public Safety Building (PSB) in March 1994. To recognize this milestone and to say thank you to the men and women who serve our community, we're throwing back to the Milwaukie Police Department (MPD) of 1965 and our present-day force of dedicated professional law enforcement officers last summer. See comments below for more information. ‪#‎MilwaukieTBT‬ ‪#‎MPD‬ ‪#‎MilwaukiePolice‬ ‪#‎CityHall‬ ‪#‎PSB‬ ‪#‎PublicSafetyBuilding‬ ‪#‎LawEnforcement‬ ‪#‎THANKYOU‬!

Prior to moving into the PSB, the MPD was housed in City Hall and then a converted house. The photo on top features the MPD in front of City Hall circa 1965 – with Chief Frank Brittingham at the center; the bottom photo features the MPD in front of the PSB in July 2015 on the morning of the Honoring Military Service & Sacrifice Parade.
