The Det. Jason Weiland
Memorial Scholarship

The Det. Jason Weiland Memorial Scholarship was established by his family to honor the memory of their beloved husband and father.

​

Det. Weiland was a proud 1995 graduate of Wausau West High School and an alumnus of the Criminal Justice Program at North Central Technical College. His career in law enforcement began as a constable for Rib Mountain, a part-time officer for Marathon City, and a Corrections Officer for Marathon County. In 2002, he joined the Everest Metro Police Department, where he served as a patrol officer, then a corporal, and in 2012 was promoted to Detective.

​

As a detective, Jason was part of the County’s Special Investigations Unit and, at the time of his death, was serving as a general detective. Throughout his career, Jason was deeply committed to his community and passionate about creating a safe environment for families. More than anything, Jason loved being a police officer. He took great pride in mentoring others and was always eager to help fellow officers find answers, even when he didn’t have them himself.

​

In recognition of his dedication to service and mentorship, Jason’s family created this scholarship to support students who share his passion for criminal justice and community service.
