What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
