Trooper Paul Butterfield was killed in the line of duty while patrolling in Mason County.  To honor Trooper Butterfield's memory,  the Fin & Feather Club has started a Law Enforcement Scholarship through West Shore Community College.  Each year a deserving student enrolled in the law enforcement program of West Shore College, receives $1,000 to assist with their tuition.  West Shore Community College makes the recommendation, of which outstanding student should receive the scholarship.
