Gunfire
Police Officer Kevin Jordan was shot and killed when arresting a female subject while working an overtime assignment at approximately 2:30 a.m.
He was working the assignment at a Waffle House on U.S. 19 when three customers began creating a disturbance. He escorted the three outside, but the female subject began fighting with him. After subduing the woman and placing her in handcuffs on the ground, one of the male subjects shot him in the back three times. One round was stopped by his vest, but a second entered an area unprotected by his vest and struck his heart and lungs.
Officer Jordan's civilian brother, who had come to the location to speak with him, witnessed the shooting. The brother, who was armed, shot and wounded the subject, who was taken into custody. He was sentenced to life without parole in February 2017.
Officer Jordan was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and had served with the Griffin Police Department for four years.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Police Officer Jordan gave the Griffin Police Department 4 years.
Thank you for your service to the Griffin community. Thank you for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
