Incident

COVID-19 and Law Enforcement

Correctional Corporal Terrell Kenneth Jordan died on September 29, 2021 of COVID-19 contracted in the line of duty. He was 46.

He is one of 884 officers honored here, and one of 7 at Miami-Dade County Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

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 son.
