Menomonie - Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen met today with law enforcement leaders, elected officials, community leaders, judges, and public safety officials from throughout Polk County at a law enforcement roundtable hosted by State Senator Sheila Harsdorf and State Representative Ann Hraychuck.

Topics discussed at the roundtable included penalties for drunk driving, unfunded mandates, concealed carry permits for retired law enforcement officers, internet crimes against children and prosecutor shortages.

"I would like to thank Senator Harsdorf and Representative Hraychuck for organizing this successful roundtable. I am grateful, as well, to all of the participants for attending and taking part in the discussions.
