Gene Wriggelsworth didn't know he wanted to be in law enforcement until a sergeant planted a seed in his ear about becoming a Michigan State Trooper. Once that seed sprouted, the next 50 years bloomed into a prestigious career protecting his beloved state of Michigan.

Dedicating your life to law enforcement is a calling for the strong of heart, will, mind, and faith. Living with duty, honor, and impact means respecting each other, upholding the laws, standing tall in adversity, and supporting brothers and sisters in uniform through tragedy and triumph.

50 Years of Duty: One Police Officer's Compelling Journey from State Trooper to County Sheriff will show you how to:

Bear witness to the good, bad, ugly, humorous, and celebratory moments

Fueled by the love and support of those around him through devastating losses and triumphs alike, Gene's remarkable career inspires us to live our own lives with duty, honor, and impact.
