The proposed legislation, Senate Bill 784, aims to prohibit warrior-style training for law enforcement officers in Wisconsin. Warrior-style training is defined as training that dehumanizes individuals or promotes aggressive behavior, which may lead to an increased likelihood of officers using deadly force. The bill establishes several restrictions: law enforcement agencies are barred from providing or arranging for such training, from reimbursing officers or collective bargaining units for related expenses, and from contracting with organizations that offer warrior-style training.

Additionally, the bill includes specific provisions that allow for training in aikido, distinguishing it from warrior-style training. It creates new statutory definitions and regulations regarding state agencies and the certification process for law enforcement training. Notably, the law enforcement standards board is prohibited from granting certification credit for warrior-style training courses, while still allowing for credit for aikido training. Overall, the bill seeks to promote a more humane approach to law enforcement training in Wisconsin.
