The Michigan State Police has a smiling face at the forefront of community outreach, and it’s a familiar one. Trooper Thomas Kinnunen, affectionately known as “Trooper Tom,” has recently been appointed as one of sixteen Community Service Troopers (CST) in Michigan.

The Munising Beacon first introduced Trooper Tom to readers back in January of 2024.
