PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - The South Dakota Highway Patrol says highway signs will be dedicated next week to honor the five Highway Patrol troopers who have died in the line of duty.
The signs are set to be dedicated as part of National Police Week. Highway Patrol Superintendent Col. Craig Price says it’s another way to honor the troopers and help the public better understand “what they did for all of us.”
The Department of Transportation created the signs, which will be placed near the locations where the troopers died. The troopers are Patrolman Bernard Benson, Trooper Steven Hoffman, Trooper Oren Hindman, Trooper Verlyn Mettler and Patrolman H.N. Brownie Russell.
