Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Rather then focus on the disgusting system that ultimately allows a killer who ruthlessly slays a police officer to go free, I’ll focus on thanking Officer Maddox for his service and sacrifice and letting him know he’ll never be forgotten by his LE brethren.

I graduated from the Police Academy with you. Rest in peace brother. I transferred to the Fire side after a few years and retired A Captain. I have never forgotten The LAPD, often reflect on my time there. I still tell stories of my LAPD days. I'm glad I knew you. 14339

Rest in Peace, Policeman Maddox. Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

I was 6 weeks old when Jerry was killed, but I feel like I know him. Our family talked about him on a daily basis and never let his memory fade. His picture from the academy was always in view. I want to thank everyone for the comments on this page and for not forgetting the sacrifice he made. It is truly humbiling.

I wasn researching deaths of officers where the perps were juveniles in gathering information to oppose legislation that allows JLWOP inmates to petition for recall and resentencing, and found the account of your tragic murder.
How horrible it must have been for your family to lose you, then have to endure those roller coaster legal proceedings. I am sorry you and your family did not get the full measure of justice you deserved. Your memory is honored and revered 41 years after your death.
