Today, May 15th, the Granville Police Department joins law enforcement agencies across Massachusetts and across our nation in solemn observance of National Peace Officers Memorial Day.

This day is more than a moment of remembrance. It is a reminder that behind every name, every badge, and every line of duty death is a life of service, a family forever changed, and a community that was protected by someone willing to stand between danger and others.

Here in Western Massachusetts, many of us have stood at the Police Officers Memorial in Holyoke and seen the names of those who gave everything in service to others. Memorials like that are powerful because they remind us that sacrifice is not an abstract idea. It has names. It has faces. It has families. It has departments, partners, friends, and communities who continue to carry that loss.

This year, that sacrifice feels especially close to home as we mourn the recent line of duty death of Massachusetts State Police Trooper Kevin Trainor. His loss is deeply felt across the law enforcement community and serves as a painful reminder that the call to serve can demand everything.

Today, we honor Trooper Trainor, the officers remembered at the Western Massachusetts memorial, and every fallen peace officer across this great nation who made the ultimate sacrifice.

We remember their courage.

We honor their service.

We will not forget their sacrifice.

During a recent trip Lt. Winslow was able to swing into Granville OH. The Lt. was able to meet with the Chief of Police and got a few pictures of the town. If you’re ever in the area make sure to stop by. It’s a great little town. For those of you that aren’t aware of the connection, Granville OH was founded by a group of Granville MA residents in the early 1800s.

The Massachusetts State Police announce the line-of-duty death of Trooper Kevin Trainor, 30, who was senselessly killed this morning by a wrong-way driver.

At the conclusion of his public safety detail shortly before 2 a.m., Trooper Trainor began his commute home. Minutes later, 911 received a call reporting a wrong-way driver traveling South on Route 1 North in Lynnfield. Several dedicated Troopers converged on the area and located the vehicle traveling the wrong way at 2:03 a.m. One minute later, at 2:04 a.m., the vehicle collided with Trooper Trainor’s cruiser.

While nothing will ever repair the pain we feel today, we make a solemn promise to never forget Trooper Trainor and his service to the Commonwealth. Kevin served as a Corrections Officer in Essex County before joining the State Police as a member of the 88th Recruit Training Troop. In his decorated career, he mentored new Troopers as a Field Training Officer or “Trooper Coach,” earned a place on the prestigious Troop Community Action Team, set the standard for professionalism, and patrolled our roads with a singular focus: keeping the people of this Commonwealth safe.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Trooper Trainor’s classmates have shared stories of his genuine care and concern for others. As one person put it, “he was the guy you wanted as your backup.”

Colonel Noble said in his remarks this afternoon, “Make no mistake: Trooper Trainor saved lives this morning. His courage – his commitment to serve the citizens of the Commonwealth and put his life on the line – prevented an even greater tragedy. He will be remembered as a hero.”

We deeply appreciate the outpouring of support from our Governor, the Secretary of Public Safety, and friends in Massachusetts and across the country. We will remember and honor this extraordinary man, son, fiancée, and friend who gave his life for others.

The men and women of the Granville Police Department extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and fellow Troopers of the Massachusetts State Police following the tragic loss of one of their Troopers this morning.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Trooper’s loved ones, the Massachusetts State Police, and all who are mourning this heartbreaking loss.

We stand with our brothers and sisters in blue during this difficult time. May this Trooper’s service, sacrifice, and dedication never be forgotten.

🧠 Mental Health Awareness Month 💚

During the month of May, members of the Granville Police Department are proud to wear our Mental Health Matters patch in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month.

The color green is associated with mental health awareness and serves as a reminder of the importance of compassion, support, and open conversations. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and no one should feel like they have to face their struggles alone.

Law enforcement officers are often called to situations involving mental health, substance use, or people in crisis. In an effort to better serve our community, the Granville Police Department, along with Southwick Police Department and Tolland MA Police Department, is now partnering with Behavioral Health Network, Inc. (BHN) through a grant-funded co-responder program. This program allows a trained behavioral health clinician to assist officers with calls where mental health support, counseling, or connection to services may be needed.

This partnership strengthens our response and helps ensure that individuals and families are connected with the appropriate care and resources whenever possible.

If you or someone you know needs support, help is available:

• Call or text 988 for the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline
• Call 2-1-1 for Mass211 health and human service resources
• Call or text 833-773-2445 for the Massachusetts Behavioral Health Help Line
• In an emergency or immediate danger, call 9-1-1

This month, and every month, the Granville Police Department remains committed to reducing stigma, supporting those in crisis, and working with our community to promote mental health, wellness, and hope.

📷 A special thank you to Ghost Patch for their work in helping bring this patch design to life.

During Autism Awareness Month, the Granville Police Department is proud to stand with the Massachusetts State Police and the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association in support of the Massachusetts Blue Envelope Program.

The Blue Envelope Program is a simple but meaningful tool that helps make traffic stops safer and less stressful for autistic drivers. The envelope can hold important documents such as a driver’s license, registration, and emergency contact information, while also letting officers know that a driver may communicate differently or may need a little extra time, patience, and understanding.

Programs like this help build stronger connections between law enforcement and the community by encouraging awareness, respect, and positive interactions.

Blue Envelopes are available at the Granville Police Department upon request.

More information about the Massachusetts Blue Envelope Program is available here: https://www.mass.gov/info-details/blue-envelope-program

We are proud to support efforts that help every member of our community feel safer, understood, and supported.

On Friday, April 17, the Granville Police Department responded to a report of a potential hostage situation at a residence in town. The initial report was received through the Massachusetts State Police dispatch center.

Out of an abundance of caution, Granville Police officers responded immediately and coordinated with the Massachusetts State Police and surrounding law enforcement agencies, including the Southwick Police Department, to assess the situation and ensure the safety of those involved. The Granville Fire Department also responded and staged for the potential emergency.

After investigating the report, officers determined that the call was false and that there was no hostage situation or active threat at the location.
The Granville Police Department appreciates the assistance of the Massachusetts State Police, the Southwick Police Department, surrounding partner agencies, and the Granville Fire Department for their coordinated response and support during the incident.

False emergency reports place an unnecessary burden on public safety resources and can cause significant concern for residents, responding personnel, and the community as a whole. Incidents of this nature are taken seriously, and any related investigation will be pursued as appropriate.

There is no ongoing threat to the public.
