Incident

Deputy Sheriff Andrew Myers died from complications as the result of contracting COVID-19 in the line of duty.

Deputy Myers had served with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for 23 years, assigned to the Norwalk Station.

COVID-19 and Law Enforcement

Deputy Sheriff Andrew Lee Myers died on October 20, 2021 of COVID-19 contracted in the line of duty. He was 51.

He is one of 885 officers honored here, and one of 5 at Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

Beginning in early 2020, law enforcement officers across the country contracted COVID-19 in the course of their duties. While much of the nation sheltered at home, they kept answering calls, making arrests, transporting prisoners, and working face to face with the public. There was no distance to be had from the job.

Corrections officers were hit hardest. Confined facilities and large populations meant constant, close, unavoidable exposure.

Survivors

He is survived by his wife, three sons, and two daughters.
