Sheriff Dr. Gregory Tony and the men and women of the Broward Sheriff’s Office will gather this morning, Aug. 28, to celebrate the legacy and service of Battalion Chief Terryson Jackson on the first anniversary of his death.
Battalion Chief Jackson, 50, tragically lost his life in a helicopter crash while on duty on Aug. 28, 2023. He and two other BSO employees were responding to a call for service when the EC 135 helicopter sustained an in-flight emergency and crashed into a small apartment building east of North Dixie Highway and just south of Northeast 10th Street in Pompano Beach. The crash also claimed the life of 65-year-old Lurean Wheaton, a civilian inside the apartment.
The ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. today at the Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue Air Rescue 85 station, located at 931 N.E. 10th St. in Pompano Beach (Pompano Beach Airpark, Hangar 18).
