Walker and Van Hollen Announcing Law Enforcement Plans Today
Getting DNA evidence is apparently a high
priority for governor
Walker. Walker stops in La Crosse this
afternoon to share his plans to fund some law enforcement initiatives.
Among them is a three million dollar grant to fund GPS monitoring for some
getting a restraining order for the first time. Also, a million
dollars to add five state employees to work in the Internet Crimes Against
Children Task Force. There's also a 6 million dollar plan to
pay for DNA swabbing of everyone arrested for a felony, children
and adults convicted of any misdemeanors, as well as samples from some
who have been simply arrested for a misdemeanor. Walker and attorney
general J.B. Van Hollen are making several quick stops around the state today to
tout the law enforcement plans.
