Created September 23rd, 2026

The Wisconsin Troopers Association is asking for your support during an incredibly difficult time for Trooper Brad Ritger and his 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. He remains hospitalized and is receiving around-the-clock medical care as he continues his fight toward recovery.
Brad and his 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. As Trooper Ritger faces a long road to recovery, his family is dealing with the emotional, physical, and financial challenges that accompany such a serious injury. Your donation can help ease some of that burden and allow his family to focus on what matters most — Brad’s recovery.
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 Trooper Ritger and his family that they are not alone.
Thank you for standing behind Brad, his family, and the law enforcement community during this difficult time.
