Ty Alan Powell, Police Officer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A Windsor Police Department officer died earlier this month after contracting COVID-19 while in the line of duty, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a short bio from the Officer Down Memorial Page, Windsor Police Officer Ty Alan Powell was a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps and had served with the Windsor Police Department for 19 years. His End of Watch was listed as Oct. 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powell had earlier served with the Mesa County Sheriff\u2019s Office and the Jackson County Sheriff\u2019s Office for one year each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is survived by his wife and five children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least three other law enforcement officers in Colorado have died from complications of contracting COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic: El Paso County Sheriff Deputy Jeffery Christopher Hopkins and deputies James Herrera and Daniel \u201cDuke\u201d Trujillo, both who worked for the Denver Sheriff Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Officer Down Memorial Page states COVID-19 has been the\u00a0no. 1 killer of law enforcement officers\u00a0across the country in 2020 and 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGetting vaccinated is just as important as wearing your vest and your seatbelt,\u201d the website states. It encourages law enforcement officers to talk with their doctors about the COVID-19 vaccine \u201cto see if vaccination is right for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the start of the pandemic, 551 law enforcement officers in the U.S. have died after contracting the novel virus, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
