Parole Officer Morin had served with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice - Parole Division for 2-1/2 years and was assigned to the San Antonio I Parole Office.

COVID-19 and Law Enforcement

Parole Officer Troy K. Morin died on February 23, 2021 of COVID-19 contracted in the line of duty. He was 53.

He is one of 884 officers honored here, and one of 5 at Texas Department of Criminal Justice - Parole 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 children, mother, stepfather, and two sisters.
