Since July 7th, OSHP troopers have been deployed to assist safety partners in Kerr County, Texas where flooding caused catastrophic damage. Our mission there has concluded, and on July 25th all troopers returned home safely. While we’re grateful for their safe return, our hearts remain with the families and communities who continue to recover from this devastating event.

With our condolences, we report the passing of Mary Rohal, age 93, surviving spouse of Captain John Rohal, on July 28th, 2025. Captain Rohal passed in October of 2023. He was a graduate of the 41st Academy Class.
