The City of Brookfield Police Chief is Dan Tushaus. He is the one in the photo administering the oath.
The chief's brother, Mark Tushaus, is a sargeant in the department.

Oh, and the rank is spelled "sergeant", not the way I spelled it. I need more coffee...

Scott, thanks for the catch! I did this before 8 a.m. and apparently need more caffeine as well. It's fixed.

Over the past several years, there have been several youth from throughout the world who have…Read More attended high school for one academic year in the Elmbrook School District through the Rotary youth exchange program. It is a tremendous opportunity for growth by the young adult, as well as the host family! If you have even the slightest bit of interest, I'd encourage you to contact Bill Petterson from the Elmbrook Rotary. It's a long-standing international program with many checks and balances so the experience is beneficial for all concerned.

I believe your first 4 words. After that your credibilty dramatically falls off. The only "beat…Read More down" received was by the middle & low income class of Wisconsinites. "As governor, I will sign legislation to prohibit the members of the State Legislature from voting after 10:00 at night or before 9:00 in the morning. This commonsense reform ensures the public has the opportunity to contact elected representatives about their votes on any pending legislation important to them. I have two teenagers and I tell them that nothing good happens after midnight. That's even more true in politics. The people of Wisconsin deserve to know what their elected leaders are voting on." --Scott Walker
