The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty has taken action to appeal a decision that could potentially impact not only their client, Noah Gausman, but also numerous other law enforcement officers in Wisconsin. Gausman, a dedicated part-time law enforcement officer and single father, has been fighting to keep his job after being informed that he would no longer be able to serve due to a new policy adopted by a state agency.

In response to the situation, WILL Deputy Counsel, Lucas Vebber, expressed, “Noah is a dedicated public servant and a hard-working father who is just trying to support his family and keep our Wisconsin communities safer. But bureaucrats in Madison have decided to flex their ‘muscle’ and deny him the opportunity to work. WILL attorneys continually stand by everyday Wisconsinites who are forced to go up against the full weight and power of state government, and it is an honor to fight for Noah’s rights and livelihood.”

Noah Gausman himself commented on the issue, stating, “Being in law enforcement is my calling and has always been my dream. I have served honorably for years without incident, and want to continue to do so going forward, but starting over from the beginning is simply not an option for me. I am grateful to the team at WILL for their help and fighting back on my behalf."

Gausman's case will now be reviewed by the Circuit Court to determine whether the state agency's decision was in accordance with the law. The outcome of this judicial review will be crucial in deciding the future of not only Gausman's career but also the rights of part-time law enforcement officers in Wisconsin.
