Bill > SB279

This bill creates a grant program administered by the Wisconsin Department of Justice to provide funding to law enforcement agencies for acquiring advanced data-sharing technology platforms. The platforms must meet specific technical requirements, including real-time data integration from multiple law enforcement systems, ability to eliminate duplicate records, advanced search and analytics capabilities, and robust data access controls. Key platform features include secure, permission-controlled data sharing, multi-device accessibility, compatibility with existing identity management systems, compliance with Criminal Justice Information Services standards, comprehensive audit logging, and an interoperable architecture that preserves agencies' data rights. The platform must also be able to become fully operational within 90 days and have a proven track record of meeting law enforcement data needs. Grant funding will be available until June 30, 2027, with each recipient required to use the funds specifically for acquiring a platform meeting these detailed technological specifications. The bill defines "law enforcement agency" by referencing an existing statutory definition and aims to enhance law enforcement data management and collaboration through modern, secure technological solutions.
