Courtesy Repost from @chesterfieldcountypolice ChiefJeffreyKatz Last week, one of our officers, Michael Dean, found himself in a parking lot with his back to a shooting that resulted in a man losing his life. Upon hearing the gunshot, Ofc. Dean opened his car door, exited, and immediately found himself face-to-face with the killer, who was still armed with a handgun. Officer Dean didn’t shoot the man - even though such an action would be justified. Instead, he courageously challenged the killer and took him into custody without incident. It was a moment of heroism amidst a tragedy that wasn’t widely covered by the mainstream media. Nevertheless, we shared this information with our community on this and other social media platforms and informed the community of this performance. You deserve to know when our people get it right…and more often than not, we do, despite it getting little attention. This afternoon, I came into my office and noticed these beautiful flowers sent by our beloved colleague and partner - Dr. Zoe Spencer from Virginia State University. They were sent to Ofc. Dean’s attention. Over the years, our department has worked closely with Dr. Spencer, Dr. McCall, and a number of other partners from VSU on an array of community issues and challenges. We cherish these relationships and we can’t thank Dr. Spencer enough for recognizing our staff in the face of heroism. Dr. Spencer, we see you and we appreciate you so very much!!

@TxDPS #TrooperChadWalker remains on life support to donate organs CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — 1:36 p.m. UPDATE: The Texas Department of Public Safety says that Trooper Chad Walker no longer displays signs of viable brain activity. After life-saving efforts conducted by the Baylor Scott and White medical teams failed, Walker will remain on life support so that he can donate his organs. "This final sacrifice embodies Trooper Walker’s actions throughout his life and service as a Texas Highway Patrol Trooper," said a post from Texas DPS. "The Walker family is grateful for the continued support and prayers as they remain at Chad’s side." ORIGINAL STORY: The state of Texas is rallying behind a DPS trooper who is fighting for his life. Walker was hit once in the head and chest. He is currently in critical condition in a Waco hospital. Earlier today we spoke with DPS Sgt. Nathan Brandley, who says Walker's first assignment with the DPS was in the Coastal Bend. “Trooper Chad Walker came out of the graduation class of B-2015,” Brandley said. “It was a law enforcement class that DPS had put through here. Everyone here that worked with Trooper Walker. We loved his personality, he was fun to be around. He was one of those types of people that you wanted to be around because he was uplifting.” KXXV television in Waco reports that Pinson has died by suicide. He was found at a residence near the scene of the shooting.  #officerdown #bluelivesmatter #webackthebadge https://www.kristv.com/news/texas-news/texas-rallying-behind-dps-trooper-fighting-for-his-life (at Corpus Christi, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNBRILFnlV_/?igshid=zm2voesh2057

Reposted from @browardsheriffsoffice #DeputyTonyYanniello died in the line of duty on October 18, 1984. While responding to a domestic disturbance call near West Hollywood, the suspect fired his rifle from the window of his house and killed Deputy Yanniello. After a 10 hour standoff, the SWAT team entered the house and in an exchange of gunfire, the suspect was killed. Deputy Yanniello had been employed with the Broward Sheriff's Office for two years.​ Deputy Yanniello, thank you for your service to the community. We will never forget your sacrifice. #wewillneverforget #alwaysTeamBSO #weBackTheBadge (at Broward Sheriff's Office - South Broward District) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGvxnBPnrp4/?igshid=rn4n6z5dum44

😪🙏🇺🇸💙💔 Say MY name. I was shot in the head and killed, on my 47th birthday, while responding to shots fired in a domestic dispute. I was murdered by Carl Le'Ellis Blount, a black male on probation, with outstanding warrants, whose lengthy criminal history, included assault toward both his girlfriend and an officer. I didn’t have the opportunity to defend myself in any manner. My killer approached me as I sat in my squad car, lights on, engine running, and pulled the trigger. I was left to die, and was later found slumped over the steering wheel. I was a veteran, and a survivor of Desert Storm. I did not, however, survive serving those in my own community. I was senselessly taken from my four daughters, and my fiancé. My name is Jeffrey Westerfield, and my life mattered. #OfcJeffreyWesterfield #SayHisName #AllLivesMatter #BlueLivesMatter #WeBackTheBadge https://www.instagram.com/p/CFd8FtTnQG-/?igshid=10rcmdfepfuki
