FOND DU LAC, WI (WTAQ) – State Trooper Trevor Casper’s name was added to the Police Memorial in Fond du Lac’s Hamilton Park giving this year’s Police Memorial ceremony Wednesday afternoon more meaning.
Fond Du Lac Police Chief Bill Lamb….
“your son, Trooper Trevor Casper, stopped pure evil that day. had he not, the violence and carnage would have moved into a densely populated neighborhood or busy retail area, where I’m quite certain others would have been killed or put in extreme peril”
Trooper Casper was killed in a shoot out with a bank robbery suspect in Fond du Lac in March of 2015.
Fond Du Lac County Executive Al Buechel says ceremonies like this help families of law enforcement officers who are coping with their loss.
“while words can not take away the feeling of loss, it is my hope that tributes like this will help the families cope with their loss. we ask God to bless these families and hold these young officers close”
Trevor Casper’s name is now listed under the names of Officer Craig Birkholz and two other Fond Du Lac police officers who gave their lives protecting the city over the years.
