The annual ceremony, honoring and remembering Wisconsin law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty, is held in correlation with National Police Week activities.

The 32nd Annual Wisconsin Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony will take place at the WLEM Site located on the State Capitol Grounds (corner of Pinckney and Mifflin Streets) at noon on May 20, 2022.

Law enforcement officers wishing to participate in the squad procession from Olin-Turville Park to the Memorial are requested to arrive no later than 11:00 a.m. The processional will leave promptly at 11:15 a.m. Olin-Turville Park is located on John Nolen Drive at E. Lakeside Street (off Highway 12/18 Beltline), Madison. The Wisconsin Professional Police Association will be serving a continental breakfast at Olin-Turville Park prior to the procession.

Departments wishing to send color teams are to contact Oak Creek Police Department Officer Dan Gitzlaff at dgitzlaff@oakcreekwi.gov or 414-762-8200 Ext. 131 for details.

Safety protocols for COVID-19 will be followed as recommended by Public Health Madison and Dane County. Due to COVID there not will be a luncheon following the ceremony, hopefully the luncheon returns for 2023.
