Officer Ryan Duxbury

Police Officer
Nominated by: Roseville Police Department
In April of 2022, Officer Duxbury responded to a call of a suspect firing a gun at neighbors. The suspect fired at arriving officers, and Officer Duxbury was shot in the face during the standoff, which lasted about one hour and during which about 100 rounds were fired. He is nominated for his bravery in responding to the scene and during the incident, and for his actions which are believed to have helped save other lives that day.
