Lieutenant Lloyd had served with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department for 30 years and was assigned to the Force Investigation Team.
COVID-19 and Law Enforcement
Lieutenant Erik Larson Lloyd died on July 29, 2020 of COVID-19 contracted in the line of duty. He was 53.
He is one of 884 officers honored here, and one of 4 at Las Vegas Metropolitan 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, two children, five grandchildren, and parents.
