I encountered Trooper Stopyra during a traffic stop about an hour east of El Paso. During the stop, Trooper Stopyra was an exemplary representative of the department and provided exceptional customer service. During our encounter we briefly spoke about my family trip to El Paso. His courteous and professional demeanor portrays his aptitude as a peace officer despite the negative reason for our encounter. He represents the mission, values, and principles of your department which cultivates public trust and legitimacy.
