What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill authorizes Marquette University to enter into an agreement with the

state and the city of Milwaukee to establish a university police department and

employ university police officers. Under this bill, except as provided otherwise in the

agreement, Marquette University police officers have the same powers as

Milwaukee law enforcement officers to maintain order, detect and prevent crime,

enforce laws and ordinances, and make arrests for violations of laws and ordinances

and Marquette may assign additional duties to the Marquette University police

officers. This bill requires that a Marquette University police officer meet training

and certification standards provided by the Law Enforcement Standards Board, that

Marquette University have written policies on arrests and rendering aid, and that

Marquette University maintain liability insurance. Finally, under this bill, a

Marquette University police officer is a peace officer for purposes of the Criminal

Code and the Marquette University police department is subject to certain public

records laws.
