Congratulations to both Lt. John Phillips and Officer Eric Lemirand on reaching their 3-stripe milestone, for 15 years of law enforcement service.

Both joined the Wausau Police Department in 2009. Lieutenant Phillips currently serves as a Patrol Lieutenant and is the Lead Tactical Instructor, responsible for organizing the regular tactical trainings for staff and instructs in various roles. He is also a member of the Mobile Field Force.

Officer Lemirand currently serves as an Officer assigned to the Crisis Assessment Response Team, helping assist persons in crisis. He is also a pilot assigned to the UAV (drone) team.

For every 5 years of law enforcement service, they present their staff with a gold service stripe to be worn on their long-sleeve uniform. Service stripes are small, but each stripe is significant and symbolizes a tremendous amount of positive impacts each officer has made in our community.
