From the article:

Law enforcement agencies in Wisconsin must report officers who were fired or resigned while under investigation or in lieu of termination to the state DOJ, which tracks the data. Law enforcement agencies can also consult the database before making hires, and will be notified if a new hire has previously been flagged in the system, said Steven Wagner, director of the state DOJ’s Training and Standards Bureau.

As long as officers keep up to date with their recertification training, only severe misconduct, such as criminal activity, usually results in a decertification, according to the state Law Enforcement Standards Board, which regulates police officers, sheriff’s deputies and prison guards.



I am in this western region a great deal and a couple of these problematic officers have jurisdiction over property of mine. I don't assume they are automatically going to be a problem for me or my local departments. Let's just say I have concerns. I mean the dud that refused to EVER be first on the scene probably put a lot of citizens at risk. That was more than just a personal conflict with people in the office.
