Wausau Officer Earns 4-Stripe Milestone

Friday, March 7th, 2025 -- 8:00 AM

Congratulations to Wausau Officer Shawn Fritsch on achieving his 4-stripe milestone, signifying 20-years of law enforcement service with the Wausau Police Department.

Officer Fritsch has served in various roles within our department to include as a Field Training Officer, Investigator with the Special Investigations Unit and most recently a member of our K-9 Unit. He served several years with his first partner, K-9 Zanto, and is now partnered with K-9 Lokey.

Background of Service Stripes: For every 5 years of law enforcement service, we present our 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.

Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
