Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

On behalf of the Klamath County Sheriff's Office in Klamath Falls Oregon, we send our sincerest sympathy in the recent loss of your Deputy, Alejandro Martinez, from complications while on a morning run with 75 other recruits at the Academy 464 on November 16, 2022 after a vehicle had crossed over the highway and struck Deputy Martinez and 25 recruits. It is always a huge loss when a fellow Deputy succumbs from injuries due to being struck by a vehicle. His bravery and courage to protect and serve your community has not gone unnoticed. Our prayers and thoughts to the 13 recruits that were struck by the vehicle for a safe and healthy career in Law Enforcement and to the 12 recruits that had critical injuries, a safe and healthy future outside of Law Enforcement. We thank Deputy Martinez for his service as a United States Army Veteran.

Deputy Alejandro Martinez is a man that exemplifies service to country and community as a soldier and a deputy sheriff. He clearly had a heart to go into harm's way for others, and he did just that.

Alejandro
Sorry you didn't get to pursue all of your dreams, but I have no doubt you would have been an outstanding deputy and faithful protector of your community. Your military service further illustrates your selfless commitment to this great nation. Your enrollment as an LASD recruit was just a furtherance of your selfless devotion to serving others. May your classmates and your family forever hold you in a place of honor and the most high. Thanks for honoring all of us.

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.
