What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation and the

Department of Justice to collaborate to develop and implement a marketing

campaign, titled the “Pro-Cop Wisconsin Campaign,” that is designed to recruit law

enforcement officers to and retain law enforcement officers in Wisconsin, including

the recruitment of law enforcement officers from communities in other states that

have sought to reduce funding for law enforcement.

WEDC and DOJ must spend $1,000,000 on the marketing campaign and must

consult with local law enforcement agencies and associations in Wisconsin for

purposes of the campaign.

Finally, the bill requires the governor to allocate $1,000,000 of the funds

accepted under the federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 for the advertising

campaign.
