On the evening of September 25, that single word marked the bittersweet end to the criminal trial of the man charged with first-degree intentional homicide in the death of a veteran Racine Police Officer, WPPA Board Member and my friend – John Hetland. John was a hero who died attempting to intervene in an armed robbery at a bar where he had stopped for dinner on June 17 of last year. The guilty verdict rendered for his killer was greeted by a throng of officers and red and blue squad lights outside the courthouse. It was a special moment and one that will help all those who knew and loved him to heal, even though the healing may continue indefinitely. This year has been beyond difficult for the officers across our state. An already dangerous job has become all the more so as a result of the coronavirus. On August 22, Wisconsin lost its first officer as a result of the global pandemic when Dane County Deputy Rick Treadwell passed away as a result of COVID-19. At 61 years of age, Deputy Treadwell had served his community for more than 25 years and our thoughts and prayers are with his family and all those who mourn his loss. I want to also take this opportunity to extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Milwaukee Police Officer Thomas Kline. A 19-year veteran of his department, Officer Kline took his own life on September 1. He was 47 years old. For me, these officers remind me how important it is for us to look out for one another. It may be easy to get bogged down by some of the narratives that we see reflected in the news media, or the protests that have occurred throughout the state and country over the last few months, but we must never allow those things to cause us to forget why we answered the calling of police service and to protect the men and women with whom we serve every day. If you or another officer are in need of help, regardless of the reason, talk to someone – a counselor, chaplain, even a business agent – so that you can find that outlet or that resource to make it through another day. If nothing else, you can always dial the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 800-273-TALK or the WPPA’s emergency hotline. These officers also remind me of the WPPA’s invaluable role in advocating on my behalf and on behalf of all of you as well. As a result of the WPPA’s efforts, John Hetland’s family is eligible for health insurance benefits that wouldn’t otherwise be afforded to them. Similarly, Rick Treadwell’s death will be classified as a line-of-duty death, making his family eligible for benefits that they wouldn’t otherwise receive. And the WPPA has been a leading advocate for officer wellness in Wisconsin, so that officers have better opportunities to get the professional assistance they need in order to prevent a tragic end like that of Thomas Kline. While the WPPA’s advocacy has been extraordinarily visible when it comes to the current political dynamics that surround our profession, the range of issues is so much larger than that, both in its substance and in terms of the incredible impact that is has on us and our families. As this tumultuous year comes to an end, please remember to take care of yourselves and one another. And let us also not neglect the fact that the WPPA is there to take care of us as well. We’ve got your six.

Throughout recorded history, humans have used various types of materials as body armor to protect themselves from injury in combat and other dangerous situations. In 1976, scientists came to the conclusion that Kevlar was bullet-resistant, wearable and light enough for police officers to wear full-time. Since that time, bulletproof vests have improved significantly, and most patrol officers depend on them as a basic safety precaution. Indeed, according to the International Association of Chiefs of Police, bulletproof vests have saved over 3,100 officers' lives since 1987. The WPPA Extended Legal Protection Plan (ELPP) is similar to that bulletproof vest: a simple way to shield yourself from a situation that could devastate you and your family at any time. Since we launched the ELPP in January of 2018, over 2,000 WPPA members have spent just 10 minutes and $72 to enroll in order to protect themselves and their loved ones from what could be significant financial loss. In our first two years of experience, WPPA attorneys have taken on several cases. They haven't been the types of circumstances that attract headlines, but involve issues that officers encounter every day in every area of our state: • An officer suffering from the effects of numerous duty-related concussions; • An officer diagnosed with PTSD as a result of being threatened and stalked after a shooting; and • An officer that developed a hearing loss caused by 30 years of exposure to the loud noises that are common to the law enforcement profession. As is common practice, all of these cases were initially rejected by the employer's worker's comp administrator, and ordinarily the officers would have had to make the tough choice between hiring an attorney or trying to navigate all the complicated medical and legal paperwork alone. But each of these officers had made the wise choice to spend $72 to enroll in the ELPP. Each one has the huge advantage of being guided and represented by WPPA attorneys at no additional charge. No matter how complicated their case, none of these folks will pay any more than $72 annually. They each have a legal equivalent of a ballistic vest. But...every few weeks we get a call from someone hoping against hope that they had enrolled in the ELPP because now something has happened to remind them that they had recognized what a great benefit it was, but had put if off for a later day and now couldn't remember whether they had ever gotten to it. Here are a few examples of those that forgot to don their legal bulletproof vest: • An officer exposed, on the job, to a lethal substance, resulting in a significant long-term medical condition; • An officer assaulted during an arrest that suffered an injury requiring surgery; and • An officer that stepped out of his squad, slipped on the ice and cracked his head. Each of these cases will likely cost the officer thousands of dollars. Each is at risk of using most or all of his available leave and losing out on overtime, as well as facing the decision whether to hire an attorney or try to deal with the insurance company alone. Each of them wishes that they had someone in their corner, protecting their interest without charging an arm and a leg. Each of them wishes they had grabbed their legal bulletproof vest before hitting the street. On the flip side, we have also seen circumstances in which a member believed he had a valid claim but, after review, it was determined that he did not. In these cases, participation in the ELPP saved the officers from hiring a lawyer and spending a lot of their own time and money in fruitless pursuit. Worker's comp and duty disability claims are very frequent and very complicated. Most claims are rejected out-of-hand, as the insurance companies work in the interest of the employers. At the WPPA, we work exclusively for our members and, for $72 per year, we will extend our services to protect you in a wide range of situations stemming from your capacity as a law enforcement officer. Extended Legal Protection Plan Highlights: 1. Under this optional plan, the WPPA will cover all of the costs in connection to the following types of legal matters that are not currently covered by your WPPA membership: Criminal defense in actions stemming from conduct performed in the capacity of a law enforcement officer; Civil defense (e.g., civil rights claims) in actions stemming from conduct performed in the capacity of a law enforcement officer for which an officer’s employer does not provide representation; Worker’s compensation cases; and Duty disability cases. 2. This plan is only available to full-service members in good standing and members from retainer local associations that do not have binding arbitration. 3. Each member must enroll in the extended plan on an individual basis by completing the plan contract available at wppa.com and submitting the annual plan fee. Local associations may pay for their members out of their treasuries, but the WPPA must receive a signed extended plan contract and the annual plan fee for each individual member in order for them to be enrolled. 4. The annual fee for this extended legal plan is $72. 5. The plan even covers outside (non-WPPA) attorneys that have been vetted and approved by the WPPA.

Palmer, II Comments & letters can be sent to: palmer@wppa.com or on Twitter, @JimPalmerWI Since the death of George Floyd in May, the topic of police reform has been elevated to the forefront of the public consciousness like never before. The national reckoning over policing has become even more polarized and intense following the August 23 shooting of Jacob Blake by officers in Kenosha. As a result, a wide range of reform measures have been introduced at every level of government. In the eyes of many, it seems, a person must choose between supporting the cause for social justice or supporting law enforcement. The recent public polling that has been conducted on these issues, however, consistently rebuts the notion that the two are mutually exclusive. Instead, the surveys reflect the fact that most people continue to support law enforcement and respect the difficult jobs that officers perform. At the same time, a majority of the public – both Republicans and Democrats – clearly believe that policing needs major changes. As the state’s largest law enforcement group, the WPPA has a long history of working with Wisconsin lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle. We have also successfully demonstrated the all-too-rare ability to engage our critics in order to explore the potential of finding common ground. We have done so knowing full well that some fundamental areas of disagreement are likely to remain, but we don’t allow that dynamic alone to deter us from the potential good that can come from starting a conversation. This approach has served Wisconsin’s law enforcement community very well in the past – resulting in legislation that is more beneficial and less detrimental to you, your jobs and your families. The strategy has enabled us to make your collective voices heard and heeded when it comes to developing public policy in our state. In September, we unveiled a comprehensive series of reforms. Entitled “A Blueprint for Change,” the WPPA reform initiative is the product of candid and thoughtful discussions held over a period of more than two months with individuals from within the law enforcement community and outside of it, along with lawmakers from both parties. The most detailed of its kind by any police group in the country, the WPPA plan outlines proposals that fall into one of four categories, or opportunity areas: Training & Standards, Oversight & Accountability, Community Engagement & Innovation and Officer Wellness. Among the “Blueprint” reform proposals are measures to largely ban chokeholds and create grant funding for police body cameras and crisis intervention programs. It also calls for the statewide tracking of officer discipline, whistleblower protections for officers when they report wrongdoing and other measures to enhance law enforcement licensing and hiring practices. “A Blueprint for Change” further includes proposals to increase the penalties for rioting, establish new penalties for filing false complaints against officers and allow people to sue those who unnecessarily call 911 in an effort to use the police to harass someone because of their race. Along with other substantive measures, the WPPA plan would benefit both the public and law enforcement – without compromising the safety of our communities and that of the dedicated officers that serve them. It reflects a genuine interest on the part of law enforcement in Wisconsin to play a leading and proactive role in the public dialogue on these issues. Perhaps most importantly, it highlights our genuine desire to help facilitate meaningful action in a way that strengthens the law enforcement profession and avoids public policy outcomes that make your jobs more dangerous than they already are. Despite the deep partisan divisions that exist in America, the public’s desire for some type of police reform is a conspicuous area of common agreement. If law enforcement were to simply dismiss those sentiments, we should not be surprised when the public reaction to the next controversial police incident is louder and more severe and when the calls for reform become more radical. Such an atmosphere is not hard to envision and it would be extraordinarily detrimental for policing, public safety and every law enforcement officer. It has often been said, “If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.” Over the last few months, the WPPA has worked tirelessly to solidify our public standing as a credible voice of reason and we expect to play an important leading role in the policy discussions that are likely to extend well into the foreseeable future. Our capacity to be viewed as a well- informed, nonpartisan authority on these issues has never been more critically important. A Blueprint for Change is significant, not just because it represents the most comprehensive law enforcement initiative of its kind, but because it exemplifies the type of public discourse that we need to have in this country if we are ever going to make any meaningful progress on the issues that surround policing in a way that is thoughtful and fact-based. The WPPA is in the best position to help accomplish that and in doing so, we will protect you, your profession and the communities that rely upon your service and sacrifice. Until then, stay safe, stay informed and stay in touch. Wisconsin Police Journal - 5Wisconsin Police Journal - 6 The WPPA’s Legislative Priorities As the state’s largest law enforcement group, the Wisconsin Professional Police Association (WPPA) actively represents its membership before the State Legislature. We advocate on a wide variety of law enforcement- and labor-related issues during each two-year legislative session and we have used a cumulative methodology to closely evaluate legislative action. At the 2004 WPPA Annual Convention, the Board of Directors formally adopted a governmental affairs platform declaring the legislative principles and polices of interest to the officers within our ranks. At the beginning of each legislative session, the WPPA sends every lawmaker an explanation of our governmental affairs platform and report card methodology. This platform is used to help develop our biannual report card that measures legislative action on bills of importance to the law enforcement community. This report card is published in the WPPA’s quarterly magazine, the Wisconsin Police Journal, which each and every member receives. It also aids our affiliated state and local political action committees in their consideration of political endorsements. The WPPA Governmental Affairs Platform 1. Protect state funding programs that impact public safety services and promote reforms of state funding formulas in a manner that prioritizes these services. 2. Promote legislation to provide collective bargaining rights for all public employees and to protect against legislation which could diminish those bargaining rights. 3. Support legislation improving the collective bargaining dispute settlement procedures for members of the law enforcement community. 4. Support legislation allowing for the arbitration of discipline for municipal law enforcement officers. 5. Support legislation improving and protecting the pension and retirement benefits of protective service employees. 6. Promote legislation likely to have a beneficial impact on the law enforcement community and protect against legislation likely to have a detrimental impact on the law enforcement community. 7. Promote political activity by WPPA members through methods such as: encouraging locals to establish local political action committees; advising locals on the operation of their political action committees; providing political action committees with a current uniform candidate questionnaire and organizing meetings with WPPA locals and their legislators. It is the responsibility of the WPPA’s registered lobbyist(s) to identify items of legislation that impact Wisconsin’s law enforcement community generally, and the WPPA’s membership specifically. Preliminary positions on those bills are made by the lobbying staff, and those positions are then considered for ratification by the WPPA Legislative Committee and Board of Directors. In recognition of the fact that not all bills are created equal, each legislative measure (companion bills are counted together) is weighted by the Legislative Committee. In order to prevent any bill from unfairly influencing the cumulative results, a weighting scale of 1 to 5 is applied to each one, as determined by the Legislative Committee. All positions ratified by the board are included on the legislative report card, and are scored in the following manner: The WPPA's Legislative Report Card Scoring Methodology Legislative ActionPoints (+/-) Co-sponsoring legislation which we support/oppose+/-3 Committee votes for legislation which supports/opposes the WPPA position+/-1 Floor votes for legislation which supports/opposes the WPPA position+/-2 Procedural votes/other efforts to advance or stall legislation which supports/opposes the WPPA position+/-2 Offering amendments which we support+2 Offering amendments we oppose-2Wisconsin Police Journal - 7 → Lawmakers that garner a cumulative score in the top one-third of all of the legislators in their respective chambers are named to the “WPPA Law Enforcement Honor Roll” for that particular legislative session and are eligible for an automatic endorsement in their next election. The legislators with the highest overall scores in their respective chambers will be eligible to be named a “WPPA Legislator of the Year.” Given that the Legislative Report Card tracks a variety of legislative activity, such as co-sponsorships and committee and floor votes, legislators may be recognized in these secondary areas as well, if determined appropriate by the WPPA’s Legislative Committee and/or Board of Directors. Due to the extent to which the WPPA’s scoring methodology tracks legislative activity, it is important to recognize that our evaluative approach provides lawmakers that sit on committees that consider law enforcement- or labor- related issues with greater opportunities to be awarded or deducted points. In situations in which a bill passes out of a legislative chamber on a voice vote, or is simply passed without objection in concurrence, all lawmakers in that legislative chamber receive credit for supporting or opposing the measure, depending upon the organization’s position on that specific measure, unless the official journal for that legislative chamber indicates a lawmaker’s successful motion to be recorded otherwise. Due to the fact that the Senate Majority Leader, Senate Minority Leader, Assembly Speaker and Assembly Minority Leader traditionally serve on fewer committees and sponsor fewer legislative measures as a result of their leadership status, those positions are not included on the Report Card. Legislators that left the legislature during the course of the session are also not included.
