Title
A substitute ordinance relating to license requirements for private security personnel during the Republican National Convention.
Analysis
This ordinance deems security personnel who hold a private security permit or license, a private detective permit or license, or a reasonably similar credential issued by any United States state, territory, or municipality as in compliance with the provisions of the City of Milwaukee’s Security Personnel License ordinance.
Body
Whereas, Milwaukee has been selected to host the 2024 Republican National Convention; and
Whereas, Many convention attendees will travel to Milwaukee with private security, and convention organizers estimate that as many as 1,000 private security personnel may be present which, if required to be locally-licensed, would hamper the License Division’s ability to perform its regular business; now, therefore;
The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:
For the period July 13-20, 2024, or as further required for the completion of the Republican National Committee’s presidential nominating process, a valid private security permit or private detective license issued under SPS 31, Wis. Admin. Code; or a private security permit or license or private detective permit or license; or a reasonably similar credential issued by any United States state, territory, or municipality shall be deemed to comply with s. 84-55-2 of the Milwaukee Code.
