GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK)- A license plate that was created to honor fallen police officers will be used to help the families of those who were killed in the line of duty.
“It’s going to be a huge financial advantage for the state memorial.”
Craig Kolbeck, chairman of the Law Enforcement Memorial Board says it will make a difference in one large expense.
“Our biggest expense is costs associated providing the annual ceremony we hold in May,” Kolbeck said.
Currently 1,000 people have law enforcement memorial plates in Wisconsin.
The bill that adds a $25 dollar fee to the license plate was signed into law by Governor Scott Walker on Tuesday.
