Former Police Officer (Worker's Compensation) Shares Harrowing Tale of Surviving a Shooting, Three Near-Death Experiences in Surgery, and City's Absence of Line-of-Duty Medical Pensions.

On the fateful day of November 8, 2017, Corporal Timothy Sterrett, a dedicated officer serving in Forest Park, Georgia, found himself in a life-altering situation while responding to a call—a confrontation with a criminal that ended in him sustaining a gunshot wound. Compounded by significant medical challenges, this incident eventually led to his involuntary retirement by the City of Forest Park.

Corporal Sterrett endured a gunshot to the neck, and during the subsequent surgical procedures to save his life, he faced the unimaginable ordeal of dying on three separate occasions. Despite his incredible resilience and the sacrifices he made in the line of duty, he was met with a disheartening revelation: The Forest Park Police Department refused to grant him medical retirement. According to him, the department cited its longstanding policy of not providing medical retirement benefits to officers injured in the line of duty as the reason behind this decision.
