DCELEA

The Dodge County Executive Law Enforcement Association (DCELEA) is established with the primary purpose of fostering collaboration, strategic planning, and professional development among senior administrators from various law enforcement agencies operating within Dodge County. DCELEA serves as a unifying platform for these leaders to collectively address challenges, share insights, and enhance the effectiveness of law enforcement efforts within Dodge County.

Law Enforcement Memorial

The Dodge County Law Enforcement Memorial was dedicated on September 11, 2014. The memorial is located on the Main Street side of the Dodge County Administration Building, 127 E Oak St in the City of Juneau. Individuals and Businesses throughout Dodge County generously donated funds to support the construction of the memorial in its entirety. Pavers are located at the memorial which honors law enforcement officers who have paid the ultimate sacrifice as well as active duty and retired law enforcement.” Each year during National Police Week in May, the DCELEA holds a law enforcement memorial honoring those who have lost their lives in service to our community. This solemn occasion allows us to reflect on the bravery and sacrifice of our fallen heroes, whose memory continues to inspire us in our pursuit of justice and protection of our communities.
