Brian
Dorow has been named The Freemanﾕs
2008 Citizen of the Year.

WAUKESHA - As a child, Brian Dorow remembers
being captivated by the heroes in TV shows like “Starsky and
Hutch,” “Magnum P.I.” and “Batman” - the men and women who
always pursued justice and caught the bad guys.
“I
remember those shows - the policeman came and saved the day,”
Dorow said.
As a
Waukesha police officer and currently as the associate dean of the
Department of Criminal Justice, Center for Law Enforcement, Homeland
Security and Counter-terrorism Initiatives at Waukesha County
Technical College, Dorow has gone above and beyond the duty to
serve, protect and help the community.
Dorow’s
commitment to Waukesha County communities, local and national
security and to his family and friends earned him the recognition of
being The Freeman’s 2008 Citizen of the Year.
A public servant in training
Dorow,
39, grew up as the fourth of seven children in a single-mother
household in Greenfield. He said he learned to be independent and to
work hard at a young age.
Dorow
said his mother, Barb, was the “most incredible mother” who was
a strong role model for the family.
“Looking
back, I’m grateful for the experiences I had,” he said. “It
really intensified me to work harder to be successful.”
