What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, Wisconsin law enforcement officers, other than sheriffs, are required to complete a preparatory training program consisting of 600 hours of training, and recertification training consisting of 24 hours of training per year. As part of ongoing recertification training, an officer must complete at least four hours of police pursuit training biennially, and an annual handgun operation qualification course. This bill requires that each Wisconsin law enforcement officer also complete as part of his or her recertification training at least one hour of first aid training on an annual basis, which would count towards the officer's annual 24-hour recertification training requirement.

This bill also requires law enforcement agencies to ensure that all motor vehicles used by the agency are equipped with an automated external defibrillator.
