Thank you to the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Memorial Association and Capitol Police for hosting us in Madison!
The Wisconsin memorial was funded, over many years, by private donations and fundraisers. The granite used in the memorial is the same granite from the same quarry that the capitol building is built from. Part of the facade was damaged during riots and has since been repaired.
Tragically, 4 names were added to the memorial this year. The fallen officers honored included: Milwaukee Police officer Peter Jerving, Chetek Police officer Emily Breidenbach, Cameron Police officer Hunter Scheel and Saint Croix County deputy Kaitlin Leising. Their names and legacy will never be forgotten.
