The Effects of COVID on Law Enforcement

Beginning in early 2020, thousands of law enforcement officers and other first responders throughout the country began to contract COVID-19 during the worldwide pandemic. Due to the nature of their job, law enforcement officers were required to work and interact with the community even as the majority of the country was self-quarantined. As a result, hundreds of officers died from COVID-related illnesses and other complications.

Corrections agencies, in particular, suffered tremendous losses due to the constant and close proximity between the corrections officers and large inmate populations. Since March 2020, ODMP has verified that over 900 law enforcement officers have died as the result of a confirmed or presumed exposure while on duty and continues to work with hundreds of other agencies that have suffered a COVID-related death.

Visit ODMP's COVID-19 memorial listing every officer who has died as a result of a confirmed or presumed exposure.

I’m sorry you’re gone Stacy. I remember times back in grade school when we’d be outside on the playground, seems like you always kept your eye on me. I remember when I had to get my tonsils removed and the card you made me. It said, “You better get better soon or I’ll come find you.” You were always a good friend to me and I will never forget that. I know that you are in heaven looking down on everyone smiling like you always did. I’ll miss you friend……….
