GREENVILLE POLICE OFFICER COOPER DAWSON

Greenville, Texas – The Greenville Police Department is deeply saddened to report the tragic loss of Officer Cooper Dawson, badge number 366, who was killed in the line of duty on November 25, 2024.

On Monday, November 25, at approximately 7:40pm, Officer Dawson initiated a traffic stop which led to a foot pursuit in the 3500 block of Pickett Street. While pursuing the suspect behind the address of 3517 Pickett Street, Officer Dawson was ambushed and shot multiple times. Despite his critical injuries, Officer Dawson displayed exceptional courage, returning fire, and striking the suspect.

Both Officer Dawson and the suspect were transported to a local hospital. Officer Dawson was later airlifted to a larger area hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. Tragically, this marks the first Line of Duty death for the Greenville Police Department in over 100 years.

Officer Dawson was a highly respected member of the Greenville Police Department and had previously served with the Garland Police Department. His dedication to public service and his unwavering commitment to protecting the Greenville community will never be forgotten.

"We are heartbroken over the loss of Officer Cooper Dawson, who selflessly put his life on the line to serve and protect our community," said Greenville Police Chief Chris Smith. "We ask that you keep Officer Dawson’s family, our department, and the Greenville community in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time."

Further details regarding memorial services and ways to support Officer Dawson’s family will be announced in the coming days.

A squad car is displayed in front of our police department in Officer Dawson's honor.
