Schamberger is attending Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College and expects to graduate from the law enforcement program this summer. He currently serves as a community service officer with the Duluth Police Department.

DeRemee will be graduating from St. Mary's University this spring with a major in Criminal Justice. He also has taken classes at Vermilion Community College. Last summer he interned with the Sheriff's Office.

The MSA awards scholarships each year to law enforcement students to assist with training and education expenses. This year’s recipients represent a broad spectrum of applicants, and were chosen based on qualifications and academic excellence that reflect the dedication and pride of those choosing to enter the difficult but rewarding profession of law enforcement and public service.
