MADISON, WI (WTAQ)- Respect will be paid to those who died in the line of duty in Wisconsin.
The 28th annual Wisconsin Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony will take place on Friday at the state Capitol.
Green Bay Police Officer Craig Kolbeck chairs the committee that puts the event together, and says this year, four names are being added.
Among them Detective Jason Weiland of the Everest Police Department and State Trooper Anthony Borostowski.
“The other two names are found by doing historial research and the one is back from 1895.”
Kolbeck says the event is done to pay respects to those who died putting their life on the line, but also serves as a reminder to all in law enforcement.
“We know as officers that at any time, we can be that officer.”
Attorney General Brad Schimel and State Patrol Superintendent J.D. Lind will speak. Kolbeck says unfortunately, they have had names to add each year for much of the past decade.
“It would be great if we could go one year without one, but we would still hold the ceremony because we are always remembering the officers that are still on the memorial.”
The event is part of National Police Week.
