Today marks the 52nd anniversary of Trooper Pederson’s line-of-duty-death. On August 26, 1972, Trooper Donald Pederson, 31 years of age and a six-year veteran with the Wisconsin State Patrol made the ultimate sacrifice when he lost his life in the line of duty while working traffic patrol in Green Lake County. Trooper Pederson sustained fatal injuries when he was ambushed and shot by a 16-year-old he had stopped and cited earlier in the evening. . . . #NeverForgotten

WSP and local law enforcement will be stepping efforts to curb impaired driving during NHTSA’s “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” safety campaign, August 16-September 2. The campaign aims to educate about the dangers and consequences of impaired driving. Whether you're driving, riding or hosting, have a plan for a safe and sober ride home: ✅Don’t let someone get behind the wheel if they're impaired. ✅If you’re hosting a gathering, make sure all your guests have a sober ride home. ✅If you see an impaired driver, call 911. #DriveSoberOrGetPulledOver #IfYouFeelDifferentYouDriveDifferent #HaveAPlan

Trooper Barker has a nose for safety during the dog days of summer! Thankfully, no one was harmed when he was called to assist this warm pup-in-a-truck at a rest area during one of Wisconsin’s recent warmer days. REMINDER: Keep everyone safe when temperatures are on the rise. Never leave a pet or child in a vehicle unattended, and make it a habit to look in the back seat every time you exit the car. TIP: “cracking“ windows does not make much of a difference when it’s hot. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gjNTfBj
