Incident

Agent Juan Rosado-López died from complications as the result of contracting COVID-19 in the line of duty.

Agent Rosado-López had served with the Puerto Rico Police Department for 23 years and was assigned to the Caguas Highway Division.

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.

COVID-19 and Law Enforcement

Agent Juan Francisco Rosado-López died on February 3, 2021 of COVID-19 contracted in the line of duty. He was 45.

He is one of 885 officers honored here, and one of 7 at Puerto Rico 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.
