Colorado’s top trooper will retire at the end of February after three decades with the agency.
Col. Mark V. Trostel joined the State Patrol in 1979 as a patrolman in Broomfield.
Trostel, a third-generation Colorado native, graduated from the FBI’s National Academy in Quantico, Va., Northwestern University’s School of Police and Staff Command, and Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government.
He was appointed colonel of the State Patrol in June 2003 by then-Gov. Bill Owens.
