What Happened
Detention Officer Robert Perez died as the result of contracting COVID-19 during an outbreak at the Harris County Jail.
Detention Officer Perez was a U.S. Navy veteran and had served with the Harris County Sheriff's Office for five 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.
