In the early morning hours of January 30, 2026, Deputy Derrick Bonham with the Weakley County Sheriff’s Office was murdered in the line in the line of duty.
The preliminary investigation shows that Deputy Bonham responded to the area of a local hotel in Martin, Tennessee for a report of shots fired or heard. Deputy Bonham located a vehicle believed to be involved just down the road at a gas station and he made contact with the female occupant / suspect. The suspect then produced a handgun and fired two rounds striking Deputy Bonham causing him to fall to the ground. The suspect then exited the vehicle and approached Deputy Bonham and fired one more round at him in an ex*****on style murder. Deputy Bonham died as a result of his injuries.
Deputy Bonham graduated from TLETA class 2016 and has served the citizens of Weakley County for just shy of two years. In that short time everyone that had the honor of knowing him has nothing but kind things to say about him.
Deputy Bonham leaves behind a loving wife and three young kids. Please keep WCSO and his family in your thoughts and prayers!

The TTOA is saddened to hear about the loss of Deputy Justin Mowery with the Blount County Sheriff’s Office. Deputy Mowery has served the citizens of Blount County since 2020 and was a member of the BCSO’s prestigious SWAT team since 2021.

BCSO’s SWAT team has played a major role in the TTOA since its infancy. They are genuinely some of the best dudes you’ll ever meet. Please keep Deputy Mowery’s family, friends, and colleagues in your thoughts and prayers!

Well… it’s not Friday but I will argue that flash bangs can be posted everyday!

If you or your team isn’t using Blaze Defense Systems fire suppression systems then you are wrong! That’s right we said it. Bangs can cause a fire hazard so why not utilize a system than can be carried in an OC pouch?
