On a typical work day, our officers drive a Ford Interceptor SUV. UWPD also owns several Dodge Caravans and two Chevy Suburbans, used primarily for special events and assignments.

UWPD has not sought or received any equipment from the federal government. However, in the interest of transparency, UWPD is sharing with our community the equipment that we own that is included in “prohibited” and “controlled” equipment lists, created by Executive Order 13688. Note: Executive Order 13688 was revoked on August 28, 2017 by President Trump.

In January 2015, President Barack Obama issued Executive Order 13688 (now revoked), which identifies actions that can improve Federal support for the appropriate use, acquisition, and transfer of controlled equipment by state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies (LEAs). The order established a federal interagency Law Enforcement Equipment Working Group, which eventually created the following lists:

Breaching apparatus (e.g. battering ram or similar entry device):  tools designed to provide law enforcement rapid entry into a building or through a secured doorway. These tools may be mechanical in nature (a battering ram), ballistic (slugs), or explosive. UWPD owns breaching kits for response to active shooter incidents. Each kit consists of:

Riot helmets: helmets designed to protect the wearer’s face and head from injury during melees from projectiles including rocks, bricks, liquids, etc. Riot helmets include a visor that protects the face. Yes, UWPD owns riot helmets.

All officers are issued a rifle and have access to a less-lethal shotgun (bean bags rounds). On their duty belt, they carry a Glock firearm, pepper spray, a Taser, radio, surgical gloves, a baton, and handcuffs. Officers who work patrol also wear a body camera, which is activated and turned on when they respond to a call.

Officers at the UW–Madison Police Department use a variety of equipment to keep our campus community safe. This ranges from first aid equipment and AEDs, radios, pepper spray, K9s and horses, stop strips (used to stop vehicles in a pursuit), and even books and other comfort items to help calm our youngest community members in an emergency or crisis situation.

Grenade launchers: firearm or firearm accessory designed to launch small explosive projectiles. None. However, UWPD does own “launchers” specifically for dispersing crowd control chemical dispersants and less-lethal rounds, like foam munitions. The launchers could be capable of launching military explosive grenades. However, we do not possess those types of munitions and have no plans to do so in the future.

Bayonets: large knives designed to be attached to the muzzle of a rifle/shotgun/long gun for the purposes of hand‐to‐hand combat. None

Usually, the batteries are fully charged, but the Quest may still display it at 90% or lower. To prevent overcharge and increase both battery life and charging stability, the battery display may show that the batteries are not fully charged.

Tracked armored vehicles: vehicles that provide ballistic protection to their occupants and utilize a tracked system instead of wheels for forward motion. None

Manned aircraft, fixed wing: powered aircraft with a crew aboard, such as airplanes, that use a fixed wing for lift. None

Command and control vehicles: any wheeled vehicle either purpose‐built or modified to facilitate the operational control and direction of public safety units responding to an incident. Command and Control vehicles provide a variety of capabilities to the incident Commander, including, but not limited to, the provision for enhanced communications and other situational awareness capabilities. None. However, in the effort of full disclosure, nearby law enforcement agencies own command and control vehicles, and by request, could bring those vehicles to UWPD’s jurisdiction for use. These vehicles serve as a “hub” for a command post.

Riot batons (excluding service‐issued telescopic or fixed‐length straight batons): non‐expandable baton of greater length (generally in excess of 24 inches) than service‐issued types and are intended to protect its wielder during melees by providing distance from assailants. Yes, UWPD owns riot batons.

Riot shields: shields intended to protect wielders from their head to their knees in melees. Most are designed for the protection of the user from projectiles including rocks, bricks, and liquids. Some afford limited ballistic protection as well. Riot shields may also be used as an offensive weapon to push opponents. Yes, UWPD owns riot shields.

Armored vehicles, wheeled: any wheeled vehicle either purpose‐built or modified to provide ballistic protection to its occupants, such as a Mine‐Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle or an Armored Personnel Carrier. These vehicles are sometimes used by law enforcement personnel involved in dangerous operating conditions, including active shooter or similar high‐threat situations.  These vehicles often have weapon‐firing ports. None. However, in the effort of full disclosure, nearby law enforcement agencies own armored vehicles, and by request, could bring those vehicles to UWPD’s jurisdiction to protect officers and civilians during rescue operations during an emergency response to an incident.

Tactical vehicles, wheeled: A vehicle purpose‐built to operate on‐ and off‐road in support of military operations, such as a HMMWV (“Humvee”), 2.5‐ton truck, 5‐ton truck, or a vehicle with a breaching or entry apparatus attached. These vehicles are sometimes used by law enforcement in rough terrain or inclement weather for search and rescue operations, as well as other law enforcement functions. None

Please make sure the batteries are positioned correctly in the controllers. There are metal contacts on the battery (in gray) that have to face upwards for charging.

Specialized firearms and ammunition under .50‐caliber (excludes firearms and ammunition for service‐issued weapons):  weapons and corresponding ammunition for specialized operations or assignment. This excludes service‐issued handguns, rifles, or shotguns that are issued or approved by the agency to be used during the course of regularly assigned duties. None

Below are the complete prohibited and controlled equipment lists that the interagency Law Enforcement Equipment Working Group created; following each item is a notation in red, identifying if UWPD owns or has access to that equipment. If UWPD determines that it needs to own equipment on the prohibited and/or controlled lists (in addition to what is already owned), the department will seek input from the campus community.
