The Kewaunee County Sheriff’s Department Honor Guard was among the dozens of departments you would have seen at Monday’s funeral for Milwaukee Police Department Officer Peter Jerving. According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, approximately 3,000 people visited Elmbrook Church in Brookfield, Wis. to pay homage to Jerving, who was killed in the line of duty while trying to apprehend a robbery suspect on the city’s south side. Police and Sheriff’s Departments from across the state, including Kewaunee County, joined the procession through the suburb to Jerving’s final resting place at Wisconsin Memorial Park. Other area departments supported Jerving’s family and the Milwaukee Police Department by posting tributes on their social media channels.
