MPD Mourns the Death of Officer Peter E.C. Jerving

Today, Tuesday, February 7, 2023, at about 1:16 a.m., an officer was killed in the line of duty while he and his partner were attempting to apprehend a suspect wanted in connection to a robbery.  During the encounter with the suspect, a struggle ensued in which the suspect fired shots striking officer Peter Jerving. Officer Jerving discharged his firearm striking the suspect. Officer Jerving was transported to Froedtert Hospital for treatment and later succumbed to his injuries.  The deceased suspect is a 19-year-old Milwaukee man, Terrell Thompson.  The Milwaukee Police Department mourns the loss of Officer Jerving, a 37-year-old lifelong resident of the city of Milwaukee, and four year veteran of the Milwaukee Police Department. Officer Jerving is a beloved member of our agency and his courage in the line of duty should be commended. He received an MPD Lifesaving Award just last year for heroically providing lifesaving care to a shooting victim during extremely dangerous conditions. He will be greatly missed by all of us.  As we grieve, please remember Officer Jerving’s smile and positive attitude that would brighten our days and light up a room. He was a loving friend, a trusted colleague and an outstanding officer whose passion was to serve as an officer since the young age of 13.  We are grateful for every one of our officers who bravely put on the MPD uniform and face the unknown daily. We are proud of your response to this tragedy and recognize how difficult it must be to continue our important work despite just suffering a traumatic loss. We continue to send our thoughts and prayers to Officer Jerving’s family and anyone who was impacted by this tragic loss.

A Statement From Milwaukee County Sheriff Denita Ball RE: The Line Of Duty Death Of Milwaukee Police Officer

Milwaukee Police Association Statement

Today the Milwaukee Police Department suffered the tragic loss of one of our officers. This loss of life was avoidable and only occurred because of the actions of one truly evil individual. This individual chose to fire several rounds at officers with complete disregard for their lives. He did not care about the consequences of his actions, including the immeasurable harm his actions would do to the officer’s family, colleagues, and friends. Not to mention the community as a whole. He chose to disregard the sanctity of human life, all in a vain, self-serving attempt to evade lawful arrest. As we now know, his choice directly caused his death, which is tragic but was 100% his own fault and avoidable. Because of his selfish and needless actions, a father and mother will be burying their son, fellow officers will miss the laughter and joy the fallen officer brought to them, and the community suffers through another senseless loss of a dedicated public servant who wanted nothing more, from a young age, to do this job and help people. Left in the wake of this tragedy are countless more, to include his partner that day, who is now left with indescribable grief and guilt wondering if there was anything they could have done differently to save his life, even though we know there was not. The actions of one individual have now caused unimaginable pain to so many. As we go through the next couple of weeks, we ask for your thoughts and prayers for the family, colleagues, and friends of our officers. We will look forward to celebrating the life of our fallen officer, making sure people know the story of his courageous and selfless act, and how he lived these acts out every day, not just on his last.  We will ensure that the sacrifice that our officer made in so many people’s lives is never forgotten. Never.
