The ceremony publicly recognized the achievements and accomplishments that too often go unrecognized. Troopers were honored for their dedication, service, bravery, and devotion to the department and the citizens of Indiana.<\/p>\n<p>Indiana State Police Fort Wayne District Trooper, Master Trooper John Grant, has been awarded the Bronze Star Award for his courageous actions during a pursuit in New Haven in 2025.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/2025\/06\/30\/isp-new-haven-police-officer-involved-shooting-investigation\/\">On June 28, 2025<\/a>, New Haven Police Department was in pursuit of a vehicle whose driver had fired multiple rounds at pursuing officers. M\/Trp. Grant responded to assist fellow officers and joined in the pursuit. After his arrival in the pursuit, local agencies asked that he take the lead in the pursuit to attempt a Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) maneuver on the suspect vehicle. After taking lead in the pursuit, M\/Trp. Grant notified dispatch that the suspect was displaying a handgun, pointing it out the rear window in his direction. As the suspect attempted to turn left, M\/Trp. Grant used this window of opportunity to attempt at PIT maneuver. M\/Trp. Grant understood that the suspect was using deadly force and closing the distance with him would put him closer into harm\u2019s way. The intervention was successful, causing the suspect to lose control of his vehicle and surrender without further incident.<\/p>\n<p>M\/Trp. Grant\u2019s action put himself in harm\u2019s way to keep other officers and the community safe. This brave action represents the best of the Indiana State Police.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/in\/trooper_noone.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Indiana State Police Trooper Chris Noone.
