The WPPA will host a pancake and sausage breakfast on Friday, May 9, prior to the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony.
Our staff and volunteers will serve breakfast to law enforcement officers and their families attending the ceremony. The breakfast will be free of charge; however, there will be an opportunity for those attending to make a contribution to The Wisconsin Law Enforcement Museum of Valor (wisconsinvalor.org). This annual event recognizes all Wisconsin law enforcement officers – active and retired, as well as those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
The Breakfast will be held at the Olin Park Pavilion before the vehicle procession to the State Capitol to honor Wisconsin’s fallen officers. We will begin serving at 9:00 am, and we invite everyone to attend.
