A local active-duty Massachusetts State Trooper has died, according to his union.
The State Police Association of Massachusetts has announced the sudden passing of Sergeant Gregory Furtado, of the 79th Recruit Training Troop, currently assigned to Cape & Islands State Police Detective Unit.

Cape & Islands District Attorney Robert J Galibois stated on social media that “Sgt. Gregory Furtado strongly and professionally led our Narcotics Task Force. Our deepest condolences to his family and colleagues in law enforcement.”
