Police Officer Trey M. Hutchison

McLean, VA (May 19, 2026) - This week’s Heroes Live Forever podcast honors Officer Trey Michael Hutchison of the Bossier City (LA) Police Department, who was ambushed and killed on August 11, 2004, while responding to a 911 hang‑up call from a woman in danger. Trey had served just under one year in Bossier City after five and a half years with the Lufkin (TX) Police Department, and at only 27 years old he left behind his wife, parents, brother, and grandparents. His death led to the creation of the “Trey Hutchison Act,” strengthening protections for officers across Louisiana. In this episode, we reflect on the courage Trey showed that day, the profound grief and love expressed by his family and colleagues, and the enduring tributes that keep his memory alive — from the annual Domestic Violence Awards Banquet held in his honor to the heartfelt messages that continue to appear on his memorial page. Trey Hutchison is one of more than 24,000 fallen heroes whose names are carved on the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, ensuring he will always be remembered and honored.
