Wisconsin counties reclaim control of 400 traffic officers
A new law signed by Governor Rennebohm returns supervision of about 400 county traffic officers to county boards of supervisors. The change reverses a prior statute placing patrols under county highway committees and their hiring power. The measure, introduced by Senator Frank Panzer, may spur broader unification of local law enforcement where dual police forces exist.
