RIP. 💙 Washington Deputy Sheriff Parker Perry, who gave his life in the line of duty, is the 83rd officer lost in 2026. He will never get to meet his unborn child. Deputy Sheriff Parker Perry, 29, succumbed to gunshot wounds he received while responding to a domestic violence call on November 3, 2026. Around 2:25 p.m., deputies responded to a female victim stating she had been shot at the 18700 block of South Smythe Road in Spangle. The SWAT team was called after a drone discovered a deceased body in the yard, and deputies realized the suspect had two felony warrants. At 3:15 p.m., the SWAT team and deputies attempted to enter the home when they were ambushed. A man inside the residence fired upon them, and a gunfight ensued. Deputy Perry and Deputy Sheriff Mason Acheson were critically wounded. Deputy Acheson passed away the next morning at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center. Deputy Perry was kept on life support so his organs could be donated, giving others a chance at life. Deputy Perry also proudly served in the Washington Army National Guard, which he joined in 2017. He rose to the rank of Captain, serving as a Military Intelligence Officer assigned to the 81st Brigade’s 1st Battalion, 161st Infantry Regiment. His distinguished military service earned him two Army Commendation Medals and the Armed Forces Service Medal. Deputy Parker Perry began his law enforcement career with the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office in May 2020. He joined the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team in 2022 and was selected as a K-9 Deputy in 2025, where he was partnered with K-9 Brego. He is survived by his wife, two children, a third child on the way, his parents, siblings, and his K-9 partner, Brego. 🖤🙏💙🙏🖤

RIP. 💙 Colorado Police Agent Nic Graham, who gave his life in the line of duty, is the 82nd officer lost in 2026. Police Agent Nicholas “Nic” Graham, 33, was murdered when he was shot and killed while responding to a suspicious person near Wadsworth Boulevard and West Colfax Avenue in Lakewood. Around 6:30 p.m., police agents followed a man who they believed to be involved in an earlier hit-and-run incident. When they approached him as he was boarding a bus, the suspect opened fire, striking four agents and a civilian. The suspect, who had a long criminal history for over 20 years and was out on parole despite receiving 10 years for assaulting a law enforcement officer and violating the conditions of his parole, was shot and killed by responding agents. Agent Graham succumbed to his wounds at St. Anthony’s Hospital. All three surviving agents are now recovering at home with their families. Police Agent Nicolas “Nic” Graham began his law enforcement career with the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office, serving for three and a half years before joining the Lakewood Police Department in January 2019. He served in patrol and became a field training agent in 2023 before transferring to the Major Crimes Team. During his time as an investigator, he handled 322 cases, the highest caseload on the team. He received the 2023 Special Investigations Unit Wingman Award and the 2024 Distinguished Service Award. Agent Graham is survived by his wife and their one-year-old son. He came from a law enforcement family; his father was a retired police sergeant, and his mother worked in a police crime laboratory. 🖤🙏💙🙏🖤
