AB447,1,3 1An Act to amend 66.0511 (title); and to create 66.0511 (4), 165.85 (4) (a) 7. d.
2and 165.85 (4) (em) of the statutes; relating to: equipment of vehicles used by

Analysis by the 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.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
