"The entire FLHSMV family and his FHP brothers and sisters are heartbroken today as we mourn the loss of Trooper Tracy Vickers. Trooper Vickers was a leader within the patrol and his troop and served as a field training officer, training and mentoring new troopers," FLHSMV Executive Director Terry L. Rhodes said. "He served Central Florida and the state for just over four years, selflessly protecting Florida's citizens and visitors. Please keep his family in your prayers."
