MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Police Officer Peter Jerving will be laid to rest on Monday, Feb. 13, according to Krause Funeral Home.

Visitation will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Elmbrook Church, and the funeral service will be at 1:30 p.m. Afterward, a procession will take place from the church to Wisconsin Memorial Park, where he will be laid to rest.

Jerving, 37, was shot and killed overnight Monday trying to arrest a robbery suspect in Milwaukee, according to Milwaukee Police Department officials. A struggle ensued between an officer and the 19-year-old suspect, which resulted in both parties being injured by gunfire. Jerving was transported to the hospital for his injuries and later died.

He had given four years of service to MPD. Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman said Jerving also received a Lifesaving Award in 2022 for saving someone's life after they were shot in June.

Many people in the community along with businesses have since launched fundraising efforts for his family.
