Bad News at the PD...
I worked with this guy when I was on second platoon. Really nice guy, and very excited about doing the job...
At approximately 11:24PM last night, Officer Courtney Dickerson was involved in an on duty vehicle accident on Halifax Road.
At 11:20PM, Officer Dickerson cleared from a domestic call on Robinhood Court, and was headed west on Halifax Road to answer an alarm call on Piney Forest Road. While navigating a turn on Halifax Road near Pleasant View Baptist Church, Officer Dickerson’s Police cruiser flipped, and he was ejected from the vehicle. Another Police Officer was traveling the same direction, but not directly behind Officer Dickerson’s cruiser came upon the accident and called for medical assistance. Officer Dickerson was transported to the Danville Regional Medical Center by the Danville Life Saving Crew where he was pronounced dead just after midnight.
The Danville Police Department requested that the Virginia State Police work the accident to investigate the details.
Officer Dickerson was 24 years old, and had been with the Department for over a year. Officer Dickerson is survived by his wife and 3 year old son. He was well liked by his peers, and the citizens of Danville.
Officer Dickerson’s family, members of the Danville Police Department, and the community are grieving his death. We ask for your patience and understanding during this difficult time.
