Please join the Burlington Police Department in observing Peace Officer Memorial Day at Noon on Tuesday, May 15 at the Veterans Terrace Ballroom, 595 Milwaukee Avenue.
This gathering gives us a chance to remember the ultimate sacrifice given to the City of Burlington by Officer Hubert “Pink” Schenning (End-of-Watch: February 9, 1935) and Sergeant Anthony “Tony” Eilers (End-of-Watch: February 5, 1962), both shot to death in the line of duty.
This program will also include our annual awards ceremony, where department personnel as well as nominated citizens will receive recognition for their merit and our appreciation for their service to our great community.
A luncheon for our guests will follow the ceremony in observation of National Police Week.
