MSPAA Trooper of the Year 2020
TFC Evan Ruggles
We would like to congratulate TFC Evan Ruggles of the Leonardtown Barrack as our recipient of the MSPAA Trooper of the Year.
In 1962, the Alumni Association selected it’s first “Trooper of the Year”. Then and now each new Trooper of the Year is chosen from a field of outstanding Troopers that have been recommended by their commanders. The MSPAA Trooper of the Year is selected by the Alumni’s Trooper of the Year Committee, which is made up of a cross section of retired troopers. The award for the preceding year is always made in May of the following year.
