Dane County leaders weigh disavowing no-knock warrants
Dane County leaders are currently weighing a resolution disavowing no-knock warrants. As its name implies, a no-knock warrant permits officers to enter someone’s home without first informing the residents.
The practice has drawn heavy criticism from civil rights advocates, police reformers and police abolitionists. It gained national attention after the killing of Breonna Taylor, who was killed one year ago by Louisville police officers executing a no-knock warrant.
Since then, chants and calls to abolish the practice have been frequent refrains during Madison’s protests against police brutality.
Yesterday, a committee of the Dane County Board of Supervisors weighed whether to request that the Dane County Sheriff stop the use of no-knock warrants. In a 4-2 decision, members of the Public Protection and Judiciary committee voted to pass along a resolution to disavow no-knock warrants without endorsing the proposal.
