Incident

Senior Police Officer Mark Hall died after contracting COVID-19 while on duty.

Officer Hall was a U.S. Navy veteran and had served with the New Orleans Police Department for 35 years.

COVID-19 and Law Enforcement

Senior Police Officer Mark Albert Hall Sr. died on April 30, 2020 of COVID-19 contracted in the line of duty. He was 53.

He is one of 885 officers honored here, and one of 3 at New Orleans Police 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, daughter, and son.
