Council 4 extends sincere condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of State Trooper First Class Aaron Pelletier, who was killed yesterday in the line of duty during a highway traffic stop. Pelletier was a member of AFSCME Local 1565 and worked as a correctional officer at Hartford Correctional Center until 2015 before becoming a State Trooper. 

Our members in law enforcement make continuous sacrifices and risk their lives every day on the frontlines to protect and serve the public. Trooper Pelletier was no exception. We honor his dedication and keep his loved ones in our thoughts and prayers.
