Political Quotes

“National Police Week serves as an important reminder of the brave law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities. During this week, we honor the officers who answer the call knowing that they may face dangerous and unpredictable situations in service to our community. Their courage, sacrifice, and dedication deserve not only our gratitude, but our continued support. This week, two Wisconsin officers are being honored during National Police Week and will have their names added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. The first is Racine County Deputy Joshua LaForge. Deputy LaForge knew from an early age that he wanted to serve others through law enforcement. That commitment guided his life and career. He served both with the Racine Police Department for 18 years and then joined the Racine County Sheriff's Department. Throughout his career, he took on many responsibilities within the department, participated in charitable efforts throughout the community, and dedicated himself to helping those around him. Tragically, Deputy LaForge passed away on July 4, 2023.”
