A student from WV who attended OD12 has expressed an interest in developing a class similar to OD12 examining the correctional officers who have been killed in the line of duty. In a preliminary analysis, I have found only 10 correctional officers (including probation and parole officers) who could be included in a study like this, since January 2010. This includes COs and POs who have died in other kinds of felonious assaults, not just gunfire:
Wall, Leonard - Assault (guarding juvenile holds)
Chapin, Gary - Assault
Biendl, Jayme - Strangled (during escape attempt)
Malloy, Guy - Gunfire
Johnson, Ronald - Assault (beaten during escape attempt)
Jones, Sherri - Gunfire
Hammond, Clarence - Gunfire (robbed off-duty in uniform)
Thomas, Ruben - Stabbed
McCoy, Jeffrey - Gunfire
Bostic-Jones, Nikkii - Vehicle assault (struck while jogging)
Would you be interested in this reading a study like this? Let me know what you think.
