Senate Bill 278 aims to extend the community-oriented policing-house grant program in Wisconsin, which is currently set to expire on July 1, 2025, as established by 2023 Wisconsin Act 19. The bill proposes to change the sunset date of this program to July 1, 2027, allowing for continued funding and support for community-oriented policing initiatives in cities with populations of at least 30,000.

The specific legal amendment involves the deletion of the year "2025" and its replacement with "2027" in the relevant section of the law. This extension is intended to provide ongoing resources for community policing efforts, which are crucial for enhancing public safety and fostering positive relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
