Attorney General Josh Kaul is advocating for more funding for the Wisconsin State Crime Labs in the upcoming state budget. He hosted lawmakers for a tour of the lab in Madison to highlight the important work they do in solving complex crimes throughout the state. Kaul emphasized the need for investment to keep up with the demand from local communities, as the labs handle felony criminal cases from all over Wisconsin. He stressed that timely testing is crucial for effective law enforcement and that the backlog in the labs has real-world implications for victims and communities. The proposed funding would include 19 new positions at the WSCL. Kaul is urging for support to ensure that the crime labs have the resources they need to continue serving the entire state. This visit is part of a series of tours Kaul is conducting to showcase the vital role of the labs in solving crimes and delivering justice in Wisconsin.
