Overview
- Trainor will be laid to rest at an 11 a.m. funeral Mass in Salem, following Tuesday’s wake that drew hundreds of officers.
- Planned honors include a seven-trooper rifle salute with three volleys, a helicopter flyover, Taps, and a procession through the city.
- The U.S. Honor Flag is being deployed for the services, and State Police will retire badge number 5179 after a “Last Call” radio tribute that marks an officer’s end of duty.
- Trainor, 30, died May 6 after a Jeep driven by 50-year-old Hernan Marrero hit his cruiser head-on on Route 1 in Lynnfield in what police describe as a life-saving response to a wrong-way driver.
- Communities have covered his former barracks cruiser with flowers and lined Georgetown with blue ribbons, as Gov. Maura Healey and Col. Geoffrey Noble hailed his heroism and road-safety work.
