On Saturday, April 4, 1925, Officer Schmidt was shot and killed while preparing to question two auto thieves. Officer Schmidt was in plainclothes and only 400 feet from the Central Police Station while conducting surveillance on the two suspects. When he began to confront them he was shot and killed.

Officer Schmidt had been with the agency for two years.

About Don Boots Jensen

I am a former Marine and a retired Milwaukee Police Sergeant. I have proudly worn a uniform serving my Country and community since 1973. During the last six years, prior to my retirement (February 2007), I was in-charge of the Milwaukee Police Department Marine Harbor Patrol, Underwater Investigation Unit, and Accident Reconstruction Unit. Prior to that I was a Motorcycle Sergeant and served at various other assignments throughout the city. I plan on writing interesting blogs concerning water safety, boating safety, motorcycle riding, hunting, fishing, scuba diving, and politics. I may even throw in a few survival tips on personal safety for you and your family. Enjoy and have a great day!
