National Police Week
It's National Police Week and the Marsy's Law for Wisconsin team is thrilled to have the chance to recognize Wisconsin's men and women in uniform. Our bipartisan coalition has incredibly lucky to have the strong support of Wisconsin's law enforcement community, and we would simply not be where we are today without these brave men and women.
Wisconsin's sheriffs, police chiefs, and officers encounter victims of crime every day in their line of work and are often the first point of contact a victim will have with the criminal justice system. That means that they are the first person that can truly help improve the experience a victim has when they are thrown into the legal process through no fault of their own.
Our officers see the toll that becoming a victim of crime takes on an individual. They also see the impact that crime has on our communities and know firsthand that Wisconsin cannot make our communities safe from criminals if we can’t hold them accountable--and we cannot hold criminals accountable unless crime victims are willing to come forward.
Marsy’s Law for Wisconsin has been very fortunate to have a great relationship with the law enforcement community since our launch, and the support of these groups has made up a huge portion of our growing list of endorsements. Our bipartisan coalition now includes nearly 200 chiefs of police and an overwhelming majority of the state’s sheriffs as well as an impressive array of Wisconsin’s prominent law enforcement organizations.
This National Police Week, please join us in thanking all those who protect and serve!
