The Wisconsin State Patrol Dignitary Protection Unit (DPU) is
responsible for protection of the Governor, the Governor's family, and
staff, whenever they travel away from the State Capitol or Executive
Residence.
When directed by the Superintendent’s Office, the DPU provides
protective services to other elected officials. The DPU also
provides protective services to national and
international dignitaries who are visiting Wisconsin on official
business.
These services include the advance reconnaissance of sites and
locations to be visited; the safe and secure transportation of the
dignitary; the protection of the dignitary at a designated site, and
other services as required and needed.
