Rest In Peace.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol has long been one of the preeminent law enforcement agencies regarding providing safety films for other agencies, as well as to the Public. I have had the good fortune of having met several members, who have provided me with data that I have used for training purposes.

The story regarding the unfortunate Conn Incident is detailed in the agency's 60th Anniversary publication. It is a grim reminder of how any of us conducting a traffic enforcement vehicle pullover/investigative vehicle pullover, could so easily find ourselves involved in something far more serious.

Thank God for the jailhouse snitch(sic), who came forward to assist with the investigation.

Patrolman Conn:
On the anniversary(sic) of Your murder, I salute You and all Ohio State Highway Patrol Men and Women!

I attended the Ohio State Highway Patrol's memorial service for the first time this past May and was moved by the dedication the Patrol has for remembering it's fallen officers. I was also greatly moved by the number of family members who come back year after year to honor their loved ones...some who have died over 50 years ago.

My boyfriend is a trooper with the Ohio State Highway Patrol. I have always been proud of his job and his affiliation with the Patrol, but am even more so after attending the service. People always use the "words" "you will never be forgotten. The family of OSHP live by those words.
