KIEL, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The Kiel post office will now the bear the name of a Wisconsin state trooper who died in the line of duty.
The U.S. Post Office located on Fremont Street was renamed the “Trevor J. Casper Post Office” in a ceremony Friday.
This renaming follows the successful passage of Rep. Glenn Grothman’s bill, which was signed into law in November 2024.
Casper was fatally shot in Fond du Lac on March 24, 2015 while trying to apprehend a bank robbery and murder suspect. It was Casper’s first solo assignment. He was 21 years old when he was killed, making him the youngest police officer in Wisconsin history to die in the line of duty.
Casper was a Kiel native who participated in wrestling and soccer and coached youth sports. Just months before his death, Casper graduated from the State Patrol Academy and was stationed at the State Trooper Base in Fond du Lac.
He received a Criminal Justice degree from Lakeshore Technical College, where he was active in the Color Guard and held the position of President of the LTC student government.
