Trooper Caio Hermann was drawn to law enforcement after his family immigrated to the United States from Brazil and police officers visited his school in Boston, Massachusetts. He began his law enforcement career with the Ohio State Highway Patrol after graduating from the training academy in 2019. In just four years, he has tremendously impacted many lives and provided the utmost professional service to the public. One example in particular is the time he was able to calmly communicate with a suicidal individual poised to jump from a bridge, managing to talk him down from the ledge after which Trooper Hermann connected him with a mental health provider.  

He recently completed training to become a Drug Recognition Expert, and after receiving a report of a reckless driver, Trooper Herman initiated a stop and placed the driver through a sobriety test. As the stop went on, Trooper Herman recognized something more was wrong and contacted EMS. EMS cleared the driver; however, he continued to worsen, and Trooper Herman chose to transport him to the hospital, ultimately leading to the detection of a brain bleed that would likely have been fatal. 

 He has also served as a recruitment officer and field training officer. Trooper Hermann provides public service both on and off duty. He attends many educational details with youth, providing guidance, education, and direction to make good life choices. 

Trooper Hermann has earned multiple awards and recognitions for his performance including State Trooper of the Year in 2021.  

“I wanted to live my life in a way that allowed me to participate in what makes this country great and serve the people.”
