Central District Community Policing Team

Sergeant Gregg Sosoka

Hi - My name is Gregg Sosoka, and I'm in my second year as the supervisor for the Central District Community Policing Team (CCPT), and my 5th year as a sergeant at MPD. I've been with Madison Police since October 2013 and have worked a number of assignments in my time - both in patrol and other roles to include a neighborhood resource officer on the north side and a CPT officer on the west side. As a supervisor, I've spent a lot of time in patrol, and spent some time as the supervisor of the former Midtown CPT. Central CPT has been, by far, my most rewarding experience at MPD, thus far. 2023's team was nothing short of exceptional in terms of work product and making the downtown Madison a safer place for all, and we will strive to meet and exceed that standard in 2024. This year's team, with over 50 years of combined policing experience, brings together officers with a wide range of expertise and backgrounds which will no doubt synergize to provide the isthmus with comprehensive proactive evidence-based policing. We'll be out and about most nights of the week, primarily after dark. Before transitioning to law enforcement, I spent a few years running college residence halls in Florida and Ohio after receiving my M.S.Ed. and B.A. in Criminal Justice at The University of Dayton (Go Flyers!). I can be reached via our office phone number at 608-266-4248 or by email at gsosoka@cityofmadison.com.

I am Officer Ethan Pierick, this is my 8th year with the Madison Police Department and my second year assigned to the Central District Community Policing Team. Prior to joining this team, I worked six years as a patrol officer on the night shift including two years in the Central District.
