Incident

Corrections Officer V Joe Landin died from complications as the result of contracting COVID-19 during an outbreak among employees and inmates at the Montford Unit in Lubbock, Texas.

Officer Landin had served with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for 25 years.

COVID-19 and Law Enforcement

Corrections Officer V Joe Charlie Landin died on December 28, 2020 of COVID-19 contracted in the line of duty. He was 54.

He is one of 885 officers honored here, and one of 55 at Texas Department of Criminal Justice - Correctional Institutions Division.

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 two sons, two daughters, and seven grandchildren.
