Bill > SJR0042

This resolution honors Illinois State Trooper Corey Steven Thompsen, who was killed in the line of duty on October 18, 2024, by designating the County Road 1900E Interstate 74 Overpass as the "Trooper Corey S. Thompsen Memorial Overpass". The resolution provides background on Thompsen's law enforcement career, highlighting his work with the Vermilion County Metropolitan Enforcement Group, Illinois State Police District 10, and the Motorcycle Enforcement Bureau, and noting his memberships in the Fraternal Order of Police and other professional organizations. The Illinois Department of Transportation is requested to erect appropriate plaques or signs identifying the overpass, and the resolution calls for presenting copies of the document to Trooper Thompsen's family, the Mayor of St. Joseph, and the Secretary of Transportation as a means of commemorating his service and sacrifice.
