People across Wisconsin and the country are honoring fallen Milwaukee Police Officer Peter Jerving on Monday by holding a procession and funeral for him in the community he helped protect.
On Monday, Milwaukee police will bury their fifth officer killed in the line of duty over the last five years, Officer Peter Jerving, and it is sure to be an emotional day.
"I don't know if Peter ever wanted to be a hero, but he wanted to be the best damn police officer he could and we all know he fulfilled that," his mother, Patty, said in a statement.
