What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires the Department of Justice to collect certain information

concerning criminal offenses committed in Wisconsin. This bill requires DOJ to

collect data and publish an annual report on law enforcement use of force incidents,

including incidents where there was a shooting, where a firearm was discharged in

the direction of a person (even if there was no injury), and where other serious bodily

harm resulted from the incident. The bill requires certain demographic information

to be collected about each such incident, and reported annually by DOJ on its

Internet site.
