Fox Valley Area 4 Law Enforcement Torch Run
Featured Event: A SHOCKING Way to Retire
Combined Locks Police Chief, Steven Wulgaert, has been supporting his officers’ involvement with Special Olympics for many years. With his retirement on the horizon, Chief Wulgaert has agreed to go out with a bang or at least a crackle as he has accepted a challenge from his officers to be shocked by a taser if they can raise $2,500.
The officers have been giving the Chief a hard time because he is the only member of the police department to not be shocked by the taser. Chief Wulgaert has chosen Special Olympics – Fox Valley Area to receive all funds raised through this challenge because of his officer’s passion for the organization. Please make a pledge and leave a message for Chief Wulgaert on his fundraising page! Checks can be made payable to Special Olympics and can be sent to Officer Duane Dissen, Combined Locks Police Department, 405 Wallace St., Combined Locks WI 54113. Any question contact Officer Duane Dissen at 788-7743.
