Rest in peace brother, our thoughts and prayers are with the Deputy Hanson’s family as well as his department during as they navigate this difficult time.
END OF WATCH
The men and women of Constable Mark Herman's Office mourn the tragic loss of Deputy Drew Hanson, who was killed in the line of duty while serving the citizens of Rapides Parish, Louisiana.
Deputy Hanson was fatally shot on Monday while assisting the Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office, Alexandria Police Department, and other law enforcement agencies in serving an arrest warrant on a suspect who had failed to appear in court on a charge of sexual assault of a person with infirmities.
Deputy Hanson was just 36 years old and leaves behind his wife and two children.
We extend our deepest condolences to Deputy Hanson's family, friends, and the members of the Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office during this incredibly difficult time. His courage, dedication, and ultimate sacrifice in the service of others will never be forgotten.
Rest in Peace, Deputy Drew Hanson. Your watch has ended. We will take it from here.
