This is not the news we had hoped to share. Our hearts are heavy, and our thoughts are with you all. Thank you for your service. May you rest in peace, Officer Triplett 💙💛

We’re devastated.

Our beloved colleague and friend, Police Officer Gregory Triplett, 58, fought til the very end. He passed away after suffering a medical emergency during a training exercise.

Officer Triplett faithfully served the citizens of St. Louis and the SLMPD for nearly 32 years.

Please keep Officer Triplett’s family, friends and the entire SLMPD in your prayers.

Kaleb is incredible. If you’re ever curious about the The BackStoppers Inc. and why their mission is so important, here is a gleaming example. This young man is going to do BIG things 💪

Kaleb Langsdorf, son of North County Police Officer Michael Langsdorf, EOW 6/23/19, has been making strides since he graduated in 2024. Kaleb earned a Bachelor of Business Administration, Finance and Banking and Real Estate and a Masters of Science, Finance from Mizzou. He is currently a Financial Planner at a financial firm in Kansas City. We are very proud of Kaleb, and it has been an honor to witness his academic and career achievements.

“Losing my father the summer before college was the darkest period of my life, but BackStoppers immediately stepped in to ensure my dream of higher education didn’t fall apart. By completely lifting the financial burden of my tuition, they gave me the invaluable space to heal and focus entirely on my studies. The degree I earned and the professional career I have built since then are direct results of their profound generosity and unwavering support. I am eternally grateful to this organization for standing by my family and giving me a solid foundation when my world had been turned upside down.”-Kaleb Langsdorf

From daycare through university, our assistance and commitment to helping the children of fallen heroes will never waver. Educational costs and expenses continue to rise, and we understand the financial toll that takes on a family. We are honored to assist and be a part of our families’ educational aspirations and goals.

The BackStoppers Education Fund covers tuition at all levels, technology, textbooks, housing on- and off-campus and related costs, uniforms, school supplies, tutoring, extracurricular activities, sports, clubs and more. Learn more about the Education Fund at BackStoppers.org.
