Wisconsin DOJ's Office of School Safety Accepting Applications for Digital Mapping of School Buildings Grant Program

Wednesday, July 13th, 2022 -- 1:00 PM

The Wisconsin Department of Justice Office of School Safety is pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for the 2021 Wisconsin Act 109 Digital Mapping of School Buildings 2022 grant program.

This grant program will offer reimbursement to school boards and governing bodies of private schools for critical incident mapping data. Critical incident mapping provides a digital blueprint of a school that can be easily accessed by law enforcement on cell phones or other devices during a critical incident.

It provides a clear layout of a school for law enforcement when a quick response is necessary. 2017 Wisconsin Act 143 requires every school district and private school governing body in Wisconsin to submit blueprints of their school to the local law enforcement agency with jurisdiction over their school and OSS.

2021 Wisconsin Act 109 amends 2017 Wisconsin Act 143 and allows school boards and governing bodies of private schools to submit critical incident mapping data to law enforcement and OSS in lieu of blueprints.
