Are There More Sex Offenders Located in Brookfield?

BROOKFIELD -- In 2014, the Milwaukee Common Council voted to approve a new sex offender ordinance, banning them from living within 2,000 feet of schools, parks and day care centers.

According to a report by the Journal Sentinel this week, supporters of the ordinance back in 2014 said it would protect the public by pushing more offenders out of the city and into the suburbs, where a disproportionately low number of the county’s offenders lived.

We wanted to know what this meant for Brookfield

Using information compiled by the State Department of Corrections, we were able to create a registered sex offender map Brookfield, showing locations of each offender.

In total, Brookfield houses 17 such offenders.

Here is a list of the general location, crime and conviction date for each offender.

What the Journal Sentinel had found was that Milwaukee County suburbs continue to house about 10% of county offenders — about the same percentage as before the ordinance. As it turns out, tighter rules in Milwaukee haven't produced the mass-exodus into the suburbs as initially thought.

Instead, it has given rise to a spike in the homeless sex offender problem - and that's worrisome for public officials.
