Milwaukee’s walking concierges. Downtown’s spirit squad. Information gurus. Our Public Service Ambassadors go by many names, but what’s consistent across the board is their unwavering dedication to keep downtown Milwaukee clean, safe and friendly.

From locating missing children to assisting disabled motorists, the PSAs serve as an extra set of eyes and ears for Milwaukee’s Police and Fire Departments—making BID #21 one of the safest districts in the city and one of the safest downtown’s in the country. Weather permitting, Milwaukee Downtown also employs a PSA bike patrol to heighten visibility.

On top of contributing to safety, this amiable crew is on the front lines welcoming visitors on a daily basis. Need suggestions on things to do? How about where to stay or where to dine? Just track down a PSA. Equipped with enormous amounts of informational brochures and a world of downtown knowledge, the PSAs always have a pulse on what’s happening.
