Kevin Joseph Fletcher

Detention Officer Kevin Fletcher died as a result of contracting COVID-19 while serving at the 4th Avenue Jail at 201 S 4th Avenue in Phoenix.

Officer Fletcher had served with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office for almost 15 years.

Beginning in early 2020, thousands of law enforcement officers and other first responders throughout the country began to contract COVID-19 during the worldwide pandemic. Due to the nature of their job, law enforcement officers were required to work and interact with the community even as the majority of the country was self-quarantined. As a result, hundreds of officers died from COVID-related illnesses and other complications.
