Officer Down

Patrolman Glen Agee
Jackson Police Department Mississippi
End of Watch: Friday, August 6, 2010
Age: 31
Tour of Duty: Two months
Cause of Death: Gunfire

Officer Glen Agee was shot and killed by a fleeing prisoner.

He and another officer had arrested the man for aggravated assault and domestic violence and were transporting him to the Hinds County Detention Center. During transport the prisoner complained he was having trouble breathing, and the officers
lowered the window in the patrol car.

Despite being handcuffed behind the back and belted in, the man was able to escape from the patrol car when it stopped at a red light. He fled into the woods with both officers in pursuit.

Several agencies and a helicopter joined in the search and located the suspect approximately 45 minutes later. Officer Agee was found a short time later suffering two gunshot wounds to his face.

Officer Agee had served with the Jackson Police Department for only two months and had previously served with the Jackson State University Police Department.

Rest in Peace Bro…We’ll Continue The Watch
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills,
From the sky.
All is well, safely rest,
God is nigh.
