How the System Works

The Wisconsin Crime Alert Network from the Wisconsin Department of Justice allows local, state, federal, and tribal law enforcement agencies to send out crime alert bulletins to businesses and the public targeting recipients based upon type of business and location.

Law Enforcement Officers from throughout the State of Wisconsin will be sending out alerts about crime and criminal suspects. Officers can also upload photos to send with the alert. Next the officer will select a geographic area to receive the alert. Once the officer sends the alert it goes out instantaneously to recipients.
