John Wallschlaeger started his career in law enforcement with the Hartland Police Department in 1994. John joined the Appleton Police Department in 2002 and achieved the rank of Sergeant in May 2009. In 2004, John became Wisconsin’s first “Memphis Model” based CIT officer after attending the 40- hour course offered at the Akron Ohio Police Department. John sees CIT as the best model of training on crisis response available to law enforcement and has helped develop it, in conjunction with NAMI Fox Valley, not only at the Appleton Police Department but throughout Wisconsin. That effort resulted in John earning the “CIT International CIT Officer of the Year Award” in 2010. John was also awarded in 2010 the “Protect & Serve Award” from NAMI WI. John recognizes that through CIT, community collaboration between the law enforcement and mental health communities is enhanced, bettering the lives of persons and families living with mental illness.
