Russ was my friend, co-worker, and kindred spirit. He always had a kind word and a smile ready to make everyone smile. This one hits hard. He took the job with Dubach Police Department to have more time to spend with his family. I pray for them and mourn with them for the loss of a great man. RIP brother. We'll take it from here.

Officer Croxton, a police officer should be remembered not by how he died but by how he lived! A brave man has left to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you for your years of commitment to law enforcement service, to your family, and to the Dubach Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!
