Today, we observe Peace Officers Memorial Day.

We honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty—those who answered the call to serve, knowing the risks, and gave their lives protecting others.

Behind every badge is a person, a family, and a story. Today, we remember not only the officers we have lost, but also the loved ones they left behind—families who continue to carry their legacy with strength and resilience.

This day is a reminder of the courage it takes to serve, the sacrifices made by those in uniform, and the commitment to a profession that puts others first. It is also a time for all of us to pause, reflect, and recognize the true cost of public safety.

Please join us in honoring these heroes. Take a moment today to reflect on their service, their sacrifice, and the lasting impact they have made on the communities they swore to protect.

Their courage will never be forgotten. Their legacy will live on. 🇺🇸💙

The Hamilton Police Department would like to send our deepest condolences to the family, friends and co-workers of Trooper Kevin Trainor of the who was killed in the line of duty this morning, Wednesday, May 6, 2026. Tpr. Trainor was struck by a wrong way driver on Rt 1 in the Lynnfield area.

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.

We’ve been made aware that the “Senior Assassin” game has begun among local high school seniors. This activity typically involves students using water guns to “eliminate” other participants over the course of several weeks.

While this is meant to be a fun tradition, we want to remind everyone to prioritize safety and good judgment:

🔫 Water guns can be mistaken for real weapons
🚗 Do not engage in this activity in or around roadways or while driving
🏡 Respect private property and businesses—do not enter yards, homes, or businesses without permission (This includes all businesses especially Hamilton crossing, Cumberland Farms, Honeycomb, all gas stations, and any public areas)
🌙 Avoid suspicious behavior that could cause concern for neighbors or prompt police response

We encourage parents/guardians to have a conversation with their children about making safe and responsible decisions while participating.

Our goal is for everyone to have fun while keeping the community safe and free from unnecessary alarm. Thank you for your cooperation.

We’ve recently seen an increase in vehicle break-ins and motor vehicle thefts in the area. Many of these incidents are crimes of opportunity involving unlocked vehicles or keys left inside.

Please take a moment to protect your property:
🔒 Always lock your vehicle, even when parked at home
🔑 Never leave keys or key fobs inside your car
🎒 Remove or hide valuables (wallets, purses, electronics, etc.)
💡 Park in well-lit areas whenever possible

A few simple steps can go a long way in preventing theft. If you see suspicious activity, please report it to your local police department.

Stay safe and stay vigilant.
