Description: During the summer of 2001, Milwaukee's Metcalfe Park neighborhood, located in District #3, was a virtual war zone. In an effort to prevent more bloodshed, Police Chief Arthur Jones called on Captain Glenn Frankovis to assume command of District #3 in November of 2001. Instead of making excuses, requesting a huge influx of new officers, or whining about budgets, Glenn Frankovis met the challenge head-on. In his second year at District Three, the commander's ASP strategy and no-nonsense policing style resulted in a further reduction of 6.5 percent in major crime and a 15.5 percent reduction in violent crime, including a 21.7 percent reduction in robberies. Today, Glenn Frankovis remains one of Milwaukee's legendary crime fighters. ---- Publisher's description.
