Rabbi Gil-Ezer Lerer, spiritual leader of Temple Menorah, has received the 2012 William W. Wagner Excellence in Law Enforcement Chaplaincy Award from the International Conference of Police Chaplains.
He received the award on March 14 at the Brown Deer Village Hall from Frank O’Laughlin, president of the ICPC’s Wisconsin chapter.
Lerer has served as head chaplain for the Brown Deer Police Department since 2002 and has been a member of the ICPC since 2005. He served as chair and guest lecturer at the ICPC regional training conference in Milwaukee in 2009.
The Chronicle published an article in the March 20, 2009, issue about his chaplaincy work, pointing out that at that time Lerer was the only Wisconsin rabbi serving as a police chaplain.
