Last Friday afternoon, April 15, the Indiana State Police Department held an awards and recognition ceremony in Indianapolis. The ceremony publicly recognized the achievements and accomplishments that all too often go without the proper recognition. Officers were recognized for their dedication, service, bravery, devotion to the department and the citizens of Indiana. Two area troopers assigned to the Bremen Post and Toll Road Post were recognized at the ceremony as the top troopers at their districts.
The 2015 Trooper of the District Awards were presented to Bremen Post Trooper Jonathan Price and Toll Road Post Trooper Mark Price. This award is given annually to a trooper at each district that personifies integrity, professionalism, and a well rounded work ethic. Both troopers were selected by their command staff for their dedication, traffic and criminal enforcement, community involvement, and other services performed for the department beyond normal expectations.
Jonathan Price joined the Indiana State Police in May, 2014 and is currently assigned to work in Elkhart County. Mark Price is a 3 ½ - year veteran of the state police and patrols Porter, LaPorte and St. Joseph Counties along the Indiana Toll Road.
