Thoughts and prayers remain with the Rouse Family. Was happy to see a recent road dedication for Trooper Stephen Rouse's sacrifice. He was responding to a fatal crash at the time of the crash in hopes of providing life saving assistance to another that he had never met. Stephen's case was one of my early reality checks about the support and sacrifices of law enforcement families. When first coming on the Patrol after attending some college classes with Mrs. Rouse, it was clear that such losses ripple far beyond the immediate agency loss. RIP my Brother.
