Jennifer Sebena, a slain Wauwatosa police officer, is one of five fallen officers who will be honored at the 23rd Annual Wisconsin Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony in Madison.
The ceremony will be held May 10, Friday at noon at the WLEM Memorial Site located on the State Capitol Grounds on corner of Pinckney and Mifflin Streets.
Sebena, who was shot and killed while on duty Christmas Eve 2012, will also be honored by The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. Her name will be added to a national memorial for fallen police officers by mid-May after an organization reversed its original decision to deny the addition.
