COVID-19 and Law Enforcement

Corrections Officer Maurice Jarrod "Reese" Jackson died on August 3, 2021 of COVID-19 contracted in the line of duty. He was 29.

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 two children.
