The Lostant Police Department sends our deepest sympathies to the family, friends and coworkers of the Illinois State Police District 16 Trooper who was was killed during a traffic stop in Freeport, Illinois today.

This is the 15th Trooper struck this year, and the second fatality.

For the safety of all law enforcement, fire, EMS, and any other safety/maintenance personnel slow down and move over. Illinois law requires you slow down and move over for ANY vehicle on the side of the road with flashing lights. This adds very little time to your trip and could save a life.
