During National Police Week, we pause to remember all those officers who passed away this year and in previous years. We remember them and keep their families in our thoughts.

We also want to take the moment to express our gratitude to the men and woman in our department for all they do each and every day. We are grateful for all of you and grateful to your families for the support they provide you.

Thank you simply isn’t enough.

Last week, Detective Rogers was able to give some local scouts a lesson in Forensic Science and included a chance to learn about lifting fingerprints. It was fun time for everyone!

Maverick had a great time with the students, (and obviously Mrs. Wesley based on the smile), when her class came down to the police department today! Thanks for visiting us!

We were saddened to hear about the tragic loss of Trooper Trainor. Please keep his family, friends and the Massachusetts State Police in your thoughts.

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.
