For many whose life is devoted to public service, the risks are high and the work leads to tragedy suffered in the line of duty. Thank you for your service, SSU Viking, with condolences to family, friends, SSU classmates and faculty & staff who knew Kevin. 🧡💙

Our deepest condolences go out to the family and loved ones of Massachusetts State Trooper Kevin Trainor '19 who was killed Wednesday around 2AM while responding to a 911 call for a wrong-way driver.

Trooper Trainor graduated from Salem State in 2019 with a degree in Criminal Justice.

“Trooper Trainor, today, saved lives,” said Col. Geoffrey Noble during a press conference at the State Police Danvers Barracks on Wednesday morning, “He will be remembered as a hero.”

Thank you for your service, Trooper Kevin Trainor.
