The Wisconsin State Patrol and the Wisconsin Troopers Benevolent Foundation partnered in 2019 to raise money for an agency memorial to be constructed on the grounds of the Wisconsin State Patrol Academy located at Fort McCoy in Western Wisconsin.  The memorial honors the sacrifices of Trooper Don Pederson, Trooper Gary Powless, Trooper Debra McMenamin, Trooper William Schoenberger, Trooper Jorge Dimas, Trooper Trevor Casper, Trooper Anthony Borostowski, Trooper Daniel Stainbrook, and those that will selflessly and bravely give their lives in the future.

 

The fundraising effort was a Division-wide effort including current sworn and non-sworn staff of the Wisconsin State Patrol and retirees who sold calendars and gave cash donations towards effort.  On September 9, 2022, a dedication ceremony was held for the memorial (click here to view).
