CSO Awards and Recognition

William Robertson CSO of the Year Award

In 2016 (for the 2015/2016) Awards Year the UW Oshkosh Police Department honored fallen hero, William Robertson by compiling a plaque that will be forever displayed in the UW Oshkosh Police Department lobby.

William Arthur Robertson worked as a Student Security Officer and Radio Dispatcher at UW Oshkosh Police Department in the early 1980’s while attending UW Oshkosh. After graduating from UW Oshkosh William worked as a Police Officer at the Whitefish Bay Police Department for approximately 6 years until he took a position at the Milwaukee Police Department. William worked at Milwaukee Police Department until he was murdered in the line of duty on September 7, 1994. In honor of William’s sacrifice the UW Oshkosh Police Department renamed their CSO of the Year Award to the William Robertson CSO of the Year Award in honor of his life and dedication to communities in Wisconsin.
