Albert J. Hasson

Trooper Albert Hasson was struck by a car while patrolling about three miles north of Chenoa.

He pulled off the road to stop an oncoming car. Just as he stepped onto the roadway, a car struck him from behind, and he was thrown 10 feet. Fellow officers took him to the hospital in Pontiac, where he succumbed to his injuries several hours later.

Trooper Hasson was a World War I veteran and served with the Illinois State Police for four months, assigned to District 6, Pontiac. He was survived by his wife.

In 2004, a training room in the District 6 Headquarters was named in honor of Trooper Hasson.

Trooper Albert Hasson was the first Illinois State Police officer to be killed in the line of duty.

Trooper Hasson,
On today, the 100th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served during World War I.
