Noted: Mensah worked for less than two years at both the Dane County Sheriff’s Office and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Police Department before he was hired by Wauwatosa police in January 2015.
Mensah was the subject of one citizen complaint while on the UW-Madison police force, but his supervisors determined he had acted appropriately. A student said Mensah unnecessarily drew his Taser when officers responded to break up fights at a fraternity’s dance party, records show. Mensah did not fire the Taser.
The complaint was not upheld after other officers and witnesses described the chaotic scene and the student who filed the complaint did not return voice messages. The phone number eventually was disconnected.
