COVID-19 and Law Enforcement
Director of Field Operations Beverly Matthews-Good died on January 28, 2021 of COVID-19 contracted in the line of duty. He was 52.
He is one of 884 officers honored here, and one of 29 at United States Department of Homeland Security - Customs and Border Protection - Office of Field Operations.
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
She is survived by her husband, two daughters, three grandchildren, mother, father, and siblings.
