Incident

Lieutenant Hasain El-Amin died from complications as a result of contracting COVID-19 in the line of duty while working at the Arkansas State Hospital Police at 305 South Palm Street in Little Rock.

Lieutenant El-Amin had served with the Arkansas State Hospital Department of Public Safety for 10 years and had previously served with the Little Rock Police Department and Shorter College Police Department.

COVID-19 and Law Enforcement

Lieutenant Hasain El-Amin died on January 25, 2021 of COVID-19 contracted in the line of duty. He was 41.

He is one of 884 officers honored here.

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 and three children.
