An officer who once hated the police and cleaned homes for a living, a sergeant who’s living out the dream from when she was 2-years-old, and a Milwaukee police captain seeking to help those who can’t help themselves. These are the stories of MPD Capt. Erin Mejia, Sgt. Fawn Schwandt, and Officer Jamie Sromalla. Story by Media Milwaukee journalist David Go.
