It’s National Police Week and to honor it, the Michigan State Police added Sergeant Todd Leveille’s name to the Fallen Trooper Memorial at the MSP Training Academy.
Leveille, who resided in Port Huron Township at the time of his passing, died on December 9th, 2021, after a duty-related exposure to COVID-19, according to the State Police.
Leveille was a 25-year veteran of the State Police and won the “Trooper of Year” award in 2005. He served at the Lapeer post. Leveille left behind a daughter and many family members and friends.
Leveille is one of 55 Michigan State Troopers who have been lost in the line of duty.
The Michigan State Police Fallen Trooper Memorial is located near Lansing. It is funded entirely with private donations. The memorial was constructed in 2001.
National Police Week occurs every year in May to honor the law enforcement community and pay respect to those who have fallen in the line of duty.
