The NPOA extends our heartfelt condolences to the the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department, and to the family and friends, who are mourning the loss of Corporal Brett Martin.
Corporal Martin, age 51, was reportedly attempting to assist a stranded motorist on Interstate 95 in Boxford, Massachusetts, when he was tragically struck by a motor vehicle. According to reports, he was taken to a local hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Corporal Martin began his career with the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department as a correction officer in February of 2008. He worked in a number of different positions within the Suffolk County House of Correction, and was most recently stationed at a security post in the Kitchen at the House of Correction.
Corporal Martin was a dedicated, thoughtful and courageous member of the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department, who exhibited a selflessness, care and concern for others that was evident to all who knew him. His legacy of bravery and self-sacrifice will endure among those with whom he served and among his colleagues throughout corrections and the law enforcement community.
