Today (March 8, 2026) marks four years since three Joplin Police officers were shot in the line of duty.
We honor and remember the ultimate sacrifice made by Corporal Ben Cooper and Officer Jake Reed. We also honor and thank Rick Hirshey for his service to our community.
Cpl. Cooper and Ofc. Reed responded to a disturbance call at a shopping center in the 400 block of Geneva Avenue. While they attempted to take the subject into custody, the man opened fire on them, critically wounding Ofc. Reed and Cpl. Cooper. The man then stole one of their service weapons and a patrol car. He continued firing at pursuing officers until he crashed near the intersection of East 9th Street and Connecticut Avenue. The man proceeded to take cover behind a van and opened fire on Officer Hirshey, who was still inside his patrol car, severely wounding him. The man continued shooting at other responding officers until being fatally wounded by return fire.
Corporal Cooper was taken to a local hospital, where he died of his injuries a short time later. Officer Reed remained on life support until his death after his organs were donated on March 11th, 2022.
As today is the anniversary of Corporal Benjamin Lee Cooper’s passing, we are keeping his family, our police department, and citizens in our prayers as we continue to honor him and his sacrifice.
Corporal Cooper was a U.S Army veteran and had served 19 years in law enforcement, beginning his career with the Joplin Police Department in 2003. Corporal Cooper is survived by his wife and two daughters.
On March 11, we will post in remembrance of the life of Officer Jake Reed.
While we continue to mourn the loss of our brave brothers, we are proud to remember them, honor them, and continue daily to pass on the stories and legacy they left behind at JPD.

Caryn has worked in law enforcement at the city of Pewaukee as a police officer and as a Jefferson County deputy. She was injured on duty in 2003 and shortly after that found a passion in helping animals. In 2005 after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf, she felt an overwhelming need to go help. Her and her team rescued 135 animals in less than 36 hours and thus Operation Bring Animals Home Search and Rescue Team was born. Her team helps with major disasters and also locally where she rescues animals on a regular basis to find their forever homes. Caryn is an inspiration for her hard work, determination, and desire to make her community a better place. I'm honored to know Caryn! If I am elected as your next State Senator, I pledge to support law enforcement and those vulnerable with the resources they need!

Prayers for the Michigan State trooper who was injured in the line of duty overnight🙏🏻
A Michigan State Police trooper was injured early Sunday when his patrol vehicle was struck by an impaired driver as he investigated an earlier crash along I-96, authorities said.
The crash happened about 4:15 a.m. on the eastbound I-96 service drive near Dolphin, where troopers had shut down a portion of the freeway at Outer Drive while working a fatal crash, state police said in a news release.
As troopers investigated, a secondary crash occurred on the exit ramp to Outer Drive involving a semi and an SUV, police said. The vehicles were moved off the ramp, and a trooper was sitting in his patrol vehicle with its emergency lights activated while conducting the crash investigation.
A passenger car then struck the patrol vehicle on the passenger side, according to state police.
The trooper suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken by Detroit EMS to a local hospital for treatment, police said.

3 HOUR WAIT TIMES.
TSA officers are not the only ones paying the price for the Democrats’ DHS shutdown. Now, the American people are facing THREE hour wait times at airports.
Democrats do not care about TSA officers going without pay, and they do not care about the millions of Americans missing flights and facing delays because of this reckless DHS shutdown.

Two subjects were arrested on scene yesterday and remain in custody.
FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating the matter with our partners at NYPD as well as the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.
Preliminary analysis confirms one of the devices ignited and deployed by the subjects was an IED explosive. Tests remain ongoing for other devices.
We will continue to update the public as able. Thank you to the brave law enforcement officers who took quick action and responded to what could’ve been a deadly attack.
The public can report any additional information to the FBI by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI or submitting a tip online at http://tips.fbi.gov.

The Hitchcock Police Department, Texas, joins Hitchcock ISD and our entire community in mourning the loss of Chief Brian Rusk.
Before leading the Hitchcock ISD Police Department, Chief Rusk served as an officer with the Hitchcock Police Department. He was part of our law enforcement family and remained committed to serving this community throughout his career.
Those who worked alongside him knew him as a dedicated officer and a man who truly cared about the people he served. Whether protecting our community or watching over the students and staff of Hitchcock ISD, his service made a lasting difference.
Today, our hearts are heavy as we remember a colleague, a friend, and someone who gave years of his life to serving others.
We are grateful for his service, and he will not be forgotten.
Please keep Chief Rusk’s family, the Hitchcock ISD Police Department, and all who knew him in your thoughts and prayers.
Rest Easy Brother. Prayers for his family of blue and blood.🙏🏻
