Justin Todd Wollam served in the U.S. Air Force for 3 years and 11 months. Justin served during the years of the Cold War and Gulf War.
Officer Justin Wollam was killed when his patrol car was struck head-on by a vehicle being driven by a drunk driver on Glenn Highway.
The vehicle had been spotted earlier by an officer who attempted to stop it because it was being driven erratically. The suspect driver sped off and was pursued by the officer. After the vehicle stopped, several juveniles fled from it with officers in pursuit. Other juveniles who remained in the vehicle started to drive away again and were followed by other officers from a distance. At approximately 4:00 am, the vehicle was driving north but crossed into the southbound lanes on Glenn Highway, where it struck Officer Wollam's patrol car. Along with Officer Wollam, the driver of the vehicle and two occupants were also killed in the accident.
Officer Wollam was a United States Air Force veteran who had served with the Anchorage Police Department for two years and had served in law enforcement for a total of five 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.
Patrol Officer Wollam gave the Anchorage Police Department 5 years.
Thank you for your service to the Anchorage community. Thank you for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
