CT State Police mourns the passing of TFC Mark Gendron (ret.). TFC Gendron died Tuesday, August 24, 2021, at Hartford Hospital. A well-loved Trooper, he was a proud member of the 108th Training Troop and entered the academy in 1998. TFC Gendron retired in 2019 after serving as a patrol trooper at Troop D in Danielson, at Troop K in Colchester, as a Resident Trooper in the Town of Hebron and as a Detective in the Casino Unit, before transferring back to Troop K in Colchester for his final assignment. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
