2022 Fish and Wildlife Trooper of the Year

Harney County-

OSP is proud to announce Senior Trooper Dean Trent as their Fish and Wildlife Division Trooper of the Year for 2022. Senior Trooper Trent is a 10-year veteran of the Oregon State Police, with the past 7 years as a member of the Fish and Wildlife Division. Prior to his assignment as a Fish and Wildlife Trooper in Burns, Senior Trooper Trent was a Patrol Services Division Trooper working in Gold Beach.

Senior Trooper Trent was nominated for his outstanding work in 2022, and described as someone who “exemplifies the values and mission of the Oregon State Police and the Fish and Wildlife Division.” Senior Trooper Trent sets a positive example of teamwork and leadership while conducting joint patrols or operations with other members of his team, and while assisting agency partners with injured wildlife, search and rescue operations, traffic crashes and other calls for service. These attributes, in combination with his humility and acknowledgment of others make him a truly worthy recipient of this award.

Congratulations to Senior Trooper Trent on a job well done!
