“I woke up this morning like so many others to the tragic news of yet another Milwaukee Police officer gunned down while serving in the line of duty. On behalf of both Kathy and I, we extend our genuine condolences to the family and friends of our fallen officer.

Kathy and I became members of the Milwaukee Police Department family in 2007 when our daughter became an officer. We know all too well the dangers and sacrifices these officers endure on a daily basis – for the safety of us all.
