In Memory of Trooper Jeffrey Werda
1968-2011

Trooper Werda



Michigan State Police Trooper Jeffrey Werda died in the line of duty on Wednesday, April 6, 2011. Trooper Jeffrey Werda was killed in an automobile accident while responding to assist Saginaw County deputies who were involved in a pursuit. Several minutes after he notified dispatchers he was responding to assist, a motorist called 911 to report finding a crashed patrol on Birch Run Road. Trooper Werda's patrol car had rolled over several times and he was ejected from the vehicle.

Trooper Werda, 43, had served with the Michigan State Police for 11 years. He is survived by his wife and three children.

Please join the men and women of the American Association of State Troopers in keeping the family of Trooper Werda and the men and women of the Michigan State Police in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
