In honor of one of our fallen Troop B members, we would like to remember Trooper Lawrence P. Gleason. Trooper Gleason passed away on February 11, 2002, after responding to a domestic dispute in Crown Point, and being shot in the back. We carry on the namesake of Trooper Lawrence P. Gleason by naming one of our State Police K9s after him. State Police, Troop B would like to welcome our newest K9 member, Gleason. He is Belgian Malinois, and his specialty is explosives. K9 Gleason and K9 Handler Anthony Cumm are honored to be able to follow in Trooper Gleason’s footsteps.
