Wisconsin Law Enforcement Memorial Logo
The logo was designed by the first Memorial Board in the early 1990s. It was designed to represent all Wisconsin law enforcement agencies and officers and each part represents what our organization stands for:
Shield
Represents the badges worn by state, federal, and municipal officers.
Star
Represents sheriff’s offices, deputies, and other law enforcement officers wearing a star.
WI State Outline
Notes where the honored officers were from and served.
Black Band
Worn as a sign of mourning and respect for officers killed in the line of duty.
The logo is important in identifying WLEM. It is incorporated into the Memorial itself, the flag, pins, website, letterhead, and everything we are involved in.
“WLEM”, “Wisconsin Law Enforcement Memorial”, the logo, and related terms are registered Trademarks with the State of Wisconsin as belonging to Wisconsin Law Enforcement Memorial, Inc.
WLEM Goals
When incorporated the WLEM Board set forth four goals:
- 1. Building and maintaining a monument to honor Wisconsin law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty.
- 2. Organizing and conducting an annual memorial ceremony at the State Capitol to remember and honor Wisconsin officers who died in the line of duty while serving their communities.
- 3. Providing support and information to law enforcement officers, law enforcement agencies, survivors, and community groups who need help adjusting to and dealing with a line of duty death of a law enforcement officer.
- 4. Providing a means for individuals, businesses, and communities to express their appreciation for law enforcement officers.
- If you are interested in becoming a part of the board or volunteering at one of our events, contact us today!
