Wisconsin Administrative Code Justice Assistance, Office of

The Wisconsin Administrative Code is a set of rules created by state agencies in Wisconsin. It gives detailed guidance on how state laws are applied. Each agency writes rules under the authority of laws passed by the Wisconsin Legislature. These rules are organized into chapters and sections, often labeled by the agency name and a numeric code.

The Office of Justice Assistance (OJA)—sometimes also called the Wisconsin Office of Justice Assistance—was a state agency that provided support, planning, and funding for justice-related programs, such as crime prevention, law enforcement, and corrections initiatives. Its rules and procedures were codified in the Wisconsin Administrative Code under the appropriate chapters for criminal justice programs, grants, and assistance.

In the Administrative Code, agencies like the OJA might have rules about:

Grant applications and reporting requirements

Data collection and reporting for criminal justice programs

Standards for local law enforcement or corrections programs receiving state support
