Vermont State Police major to retire in January
BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Changes are coming to the Vermont state police major crime unit as a familiar face prepares for retirement.
After a 28-year law-enforcement career, Vermont State Police Major Dan Trudeau will retire in January.
You’ve likely seen him in much of our crime coverage over the last several years.
Trudeau started his career at the Wilmington Police Department in 1996 and then joined the state police in 2003. In his role with the major crime unit, Trudeau and the team is responsible for investigating homicides and other violent incidents throughout the state.
He says while he’ll miss parts of the work, he’s grateful for the team around him. “Over the course of my career, it’s really impressive the dedication from everybody and the commitment, you know, working nights when some tragedy happens, everybody drops what they’re doing. Holidays, weekends, nights,” Trudeau said.
He says he’s looking forward to spending the extra time with his family.
