COVID-19 and Law Enforcement
Corrections Officer Susan Ann Roberts died on September 12, 2020 of COVID-19 contracted in the line of duty. He was 73.
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
She is survived by her husband, two children, five grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
