Created September 23rd, 2026

The Wisconsin Troopers Association is asking for your support during an incredibly difficult time for the Ritger family.
On September 21st, Trooper Ritger was assisting a fellow Wisconsin State Trooper with a vehicle pursuit. While deploying a tire deflation device, Trooper Ritger sustained serious, life-threatening injuries. On October 2nd, Trooper Ritger tragically succumbed to his injuries.
The Ritger family have deep roots in the local community and have spent years building strong connections with the people around them. Now, it is our opportunity to come together and support them in their time of need. The Ritger family is dealing with the emotional, physical, and financial challenges that accompany such a tragedy. Your donation can help ease some of that burden.
Every contribution, regardless of size, will make a meaningful difference. Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with others who may want to help. Let’s come together as a community and show the Ritger family that they are not alone.
Thank you for standing behind Brad, his family, and the law enforcement community during this difficult time.
