Albert J. Hasson.
Trooper Albert Hasson was struck by a car while patrolling about three miles north of Chenoa. He pulled off the road to stop an oncoming car. Just as he stepped onto the roadway, a car struck him from behind, and he was thrown 10 feet. Fellow officers took him to the hospital in Pontiac, where he succumbed to his injuries several hours later. Trooper Hasson was a World War I veteran and served with the Illinois State Police for four months, assigned to District 6, Pontiac. He was survived by his wife. In 2004, a training room in the District 6 Headquarters was named in honor of Trooper Hasson. Trooper Albert Hasson was the first Illinois State Police officer to be killed in the line of duty.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Trooper Hasson served with the Illinois State Police.
Thank you for your service to the people of Illinois, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
