Your voices were heard!

The Board of Directors of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund made their final decision on whether to add Officer Jennifer Sebena's name to their roll of honour in May 2013.

They heard the voices from Wisconsin and the law enforcement community throughout the country and have unanimously voted to place her name on the 2013 roll of honour.

Jennifer, may you rest in peace.
