What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires each Wisconsin law enforcement agency that has a website

to provide a link on its website home page to a clear description of the process by

which an individual may file a formal complaint regarding his or her interaction with

a law enforcement officer. The bill also requires each Wisconsin law enforcement

agency to provide to each of its law enforcement officers an information card that

contains the officer's name, the officer's badge number, the telephone number of the

officer's direct supervisor, and either a link to the law enforcement agency's formal

complaint web page or, if the law enforcement agency doesn't have a website, a clear

description of the process by which an individual may file a formal complaint

regarding his or her interaction with the law enforcement officer. The bill also

requires each Wisconsin law enforcement officer to provide such an information card

upon request to any individual with whom he or she comes into contact in his or her

official capacity.
