Scott County Law Enforcement Memorial Scholarship

06/04/2026

We extend our deepest condolences to the family of Lt. Tyler Uthe, our hearts ache for all of his co-workers, friends and loved ones.

Lt. Uthe is a Scott County resident with strong ties to the community and law enforcement agencies in the area. He was a pillar of his community and a leader among his law enforcement family.

As we mourn the tragic loss of Lt. Uthe, we ask that you check on your law enforcement family members. Everyone battles the hardships differently, and this career is nothing short of tragic. No one has to battle this career alone, and we will continue to honor his memory, his sacrifice, and his incredible career.

Rest in peace, Lt Uthe. 🖤💙

We hosted our 43rd Annual banquet at the Minnesota Horse and Hunt Club last night and it was such an incredible event. We can’t thank everyone enough for their contributions to the committee, without you this would not be possible.

We want to thank our guest speaker, Chris Madel, for your inspiring speech and endless support for law enforcement. The sentiment is felt by many officers, that without someone like you to stand up for us and ensure justice is upheld, many of us would not continue to do the work that we do.

We are so proud of all of our scholarship winners! These young men are upstanding citizens and we have no doubts will go on to have long and successful careers. All of our winners come from Scott County, one is a marine, three of them already have conditional offers as a licensed peace officer, two of them with a Scott County agency, and all will do great things with their careers.

Thank you to all of our committee members for your countless hours helping make this event a success every year. Many hours spent behind the scenes go in to this event, from speaking with community members about making donations, to recruiting some of the applicants, all while still working full time jobs, this event really takes a village, and we have one of the best groups around.

This wraps up our 2026 scholarship year, and we look forward to what the next year brings!

This is the reason our banquet is held every year at the same time. We choose this week to remember not only the fallen officers of Scott County, but of all fallen officers around the nation. 💙🖤

There have been several officer’s killed in the line of duty in 2026 already, and even more injured.

Please check out your local sheriff’s office’s and police departments for their events happening throughout this week, and continue to pray for those who have given their lives for others, and for the continued safety of those who put on a uniform every day and go to work. We appreciate those thoughts more than you will ever understand. 💙🖤

It's National Police Week

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy designated May 15th as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week it falls in as National Police Week - a time to honor law enforcement officers who lost their lives in the line of duty.

This year, Peace Officers Memorial Day is Friday, May 15, 2026, and National Police Week runs from May 10-16. As we observe this week, we reflect on the courage and sacrifice of those who gave their lives protecting others. Each year, hundreds of names are added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, DC, and honored during the Candlelight Vigil - taking place this year on Wednesday, May 13th.

These fallen heroes put the safety of others above their own, embodying true service and sacrifice. Their names and legacies live on in the memorial - and in our hearts.

As we honor their memory, we also thank the Scott County community for your continued support. It is a privilege to serve you.
