Public Safety Secretary Alexis Torres and Police Commissioner Colonel Antonio López Figueroa mourned the death of 45-year-old Agent Juan Rosado López as a result of COVID-19.
Officer Rosado López joined the Police Office in 1996 and currently works in the Caguas Highway Patrol Division.
“Today, COVID-19 took another colleague from the Puerto Rico Police Office. We deeply regret the death of Agent Juan Rosado López, who is the seventh law enforcement officer to lose the virus. Our prayers for his eternal rest and our condolences to his family and friends. Let him rest in peace, “the secretary said.
For his part, the commissioner said that “every time I lose one of my police officers, I lose a brother, a son, a friend, who gave everything to serve his country, his neighbor and his family. Therefore, we all lose. To Rosado López’s loved ones, we extend our solidarity and gratitude for the fact that he has given us a member of his family to serve Puerto Rico with pride. We ask God to strengthen them with serenity, peace and with the certainty that he will be remembered in our hearts as an excellent human being and a great policeman ”.
Currently, 137 members of the Police Bureau have received a positive diagnosis for COVID-19, and 161 officers are being held in precautionary isolation. All barracks, divisions and units continue to operate normally.
