Thursday, March 30, 2023 - 12:10pm • Room 363

Nick DeSiato is currently the Chief of Staff for the Mayor's Office and has offered to come speak to our members about what encompasses "public safety" in Milwaukee. In addition to police as a central agent, Nick will offer insight into how many city departments--fire, public health, transportation--must work together to reach public safety goals. Nick will bring with him an extensive career in public service. 

Previously, Nick was the Chief of Staff of the Milwaukee Police Department and oversaw the Department’s Public Information Office, Office of Management Analysis and Planning, and Budget & Finance Office, and he is responsible for the Department’s intergovernmental relations. Prior to joining the Department, he was an Assistant City Attorney for the Milwaukee City Attorney’s Office for over six years. In that role, he oversaw the City Attorney’s Office’s Ordinance Enforcement Division and was the lead litigator for police-related nuisance actions.
