AROUND THE COUNTRY<br />
BELLEVUE, WA.<br />
Motor Officer Jordan Jackson was killed when his motorcycle collided<br />
with a car in Bellevue Washington.<br />
By Brady Wakayama<br />
BELLEVUE, WA. — The Bellevue<br />
Police Department is mourning<br />
the loss of motorcycle officer<br />
Jordan Jackson. He died on<br />
Monday, <strong>No</strong>vember 21st., after his<br />
motorcycle collided with a car in<br />
Bellevue. He was 34 years old.<br />
“A tragedy to lose him, he was<br />
a great officer but an even better<br />
human being,” said Bellevue Police<br />
(BPD) Chief Wendell Shirley.<br />
Shirley reflected on Jackson’s<br />
life just one day after he died<br />
from his injuries. He was struck<br />
while traveling northbound on<br />
Bellevue Way near Wolverine<br />
Way.<br />
“The hardest thing to face a<br />
wife, his sister, his mother in<br />
such grief and not be able to fix<br />
it,” said Shirley.<br />
Officer Jackson leaves behind<br />
a wife and two young children.<br />
OFFICER JORDAN JACKSON<br />
He was a Washingtonian dedicated<br />
to serving his community,<br />
graduating from Issaquah High<br />
School and Central Washington<br />
University. He’s been with BPD<br />
since 2018 and was even on the<br />
hiring panel for Shirley who was<br />
appointed to his new role earlier<br />
this year.<br />
“I could tell he was a leader<br />
right from the start, the way he<br />
carried himself, the way he conducted<br />
himself, he was friendly,<br />
he was engaging, and I had a<br />
few meetings with him in my<br />
office and I knew this guy was<br />
an up-and-coming leader,” said<br />
Shirley.<br />
As a memorial of flowers and<br />
balloons expands just outside<br />
the doors of BPD Tuesday afternoon,<br />
so does the sorrow from<br />
the greater community.<br />
“Horrible to see this senseless<br />
act happen,” said David Roosevelt<br />
the owner of Seattle Used<br />
Bikes, just off Aurora Avenue.<br />
Roosevelt said Jackson was a<br />
loyal customer of his since 2019.<br />
Roosevelt said Jackson was a<br />
responsible rider and would talk<br />
about his family often.<br />
“My heart goes out to them,<br />
and I hope the kids someday<br />
understand what a good man<br />
their father was, and that legacy<br />
is what continues for him,” said<br />
Roosevelt. A legacy that should<br />
never be forgotten.<br />
“Jordan Jackson paid the ultimate<br />
sacrifice for serving and so<br />
I think we should all be grateful<br />
and count our blessings,” said<br />
Shirley.<br />
BPD along with the Jackson<br />
family are still organizing funeral<br />
arrangements.<br />
