In light of recent national events and in continued efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of all legislators, staff, and visitors, the Wisconsin State Senate Sergeant at Arms has announced a series of enhanced security protocols at the State Capitol.
Effective immediately, the Office of the Senate Sergeant at Arms, in coordination with the Wisconsin Capitol Police, has implemented updated measures that include increased situational awareness practices, strengthened access control points, and updated emergency response protocols. These proactive steps are designed to provide a secure and responsive environment while maintaining the Capitol’s tradition of public accessibility and civic engagement.
“The safety of those who serve, work, and visit the Capitol is my top priority,” said Senate Sergeant at Arms Timothy La Sage. “We remain vigilant and prepared. These enhancements are part of our ongoing commitment to security and public service.”
Out of respect for operational integrity, specific security details will not be disclosed publicly. The Senate leadership continues to work closely with law enforcement partners to assess risks and make necessary adjustments in real-time.
Members of the public are encouraged to follow all posted signage and cooperate with Senate Sergeant at Arms personnel and Capitol Police.
