Trooper Barrett
Trooper Barrett and other members of the Virginia State Police's Search and Recovery Team were performing deep-water dives in the lake. As Trooper Barrett and his dive partner were ascending to the surface, the other trooper noticed he was having difficulty and assisted him to the surface.
Other troopers immediately started CPR and he was transported to a local hospital where he died.
Trooper Barrett had served with the Virginia State Police for three years. He is survived by his wife and two children.
Sympathy cards may be sent to the Virginia State Police, 7700 Midlothian Turnpike, Richmond , VA 23235 . Questions regarding funeral arrangements or survivor benefit fund information can be obtained by calling the Virginia State Police at (804) 674-2016.
Please keep the family of Trooper Barrett and the men and women of the Virginia State Police in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
With Honor and Respect,
