COVID-19 and Law Enforcement

Special Agent Bradley John Harris died on December 26, 2020 of COVID-19 contracted in the line of duty. He was 52.

He is one of 884 officers honored here, and one of 2 at United States Department of Homeland Security - Immigration and Customs Enforcement - Office of Investigations.

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 sons, mother, two brothers, a nephew, and three nieces.
