Officer Down - Rockford
- A Rockford police officer was killed and a man was found dead in a vehicle early Sunday when a traffic stop led to a crash and an apparent shooting.
Just after 1 a.m., officer Jaimie Cox, 30, made a traffic stop near State Street and Dawn Avenue, Rockford Police Chief Dan O’Shea said during a Sunday news conference. A short time later, Cox made a brief radio transmission asking for assistance.
Responding officers found a one-vehicle crash about two blocks north of where the initial traffic stop happened, O’Shea said. Eddie Patterson, 49, was found dead inside that vehicle.
Cox was found critically injured at the scene and was taken to Saint Anthony Medical Center in Rockford, where he was later pronounced dead, O’Shea said. It was not clear whether he succumbed to injuries related to the crash or if he was shot.
Prayers for the fallen Officer, his family, friends and co-workers.

Retired and living near Rockford. Apparently a struggle between the officer and offender occured after the traffic stop. According to the press conference by Rockford PD officer Cox became entangled in the offenders vehicle and the suspect drive off. No cause of death has been released but the general feeling is Officer Cox suffered traumatic injuries from being dragged. The offender crashed into a tree and nearly split his vehicle in two, he was found dead inside. There were reports of shots being heard and it is unknown if Officer Cox shot at the vehicle or the offender. Cox was 30 yrs old and had been on the Rockford PD for only 11 months. Cox was a conservation Police Officer with the Illinois DNR before laterally moving to the RPD.
He was a good man, definitely someone you want to watch your back. I served with him in the army.
Too many fallen brothers since the hate the police stated. Thanks to Barry. All you greatest of all, the CPD patrol people, please watch your backs. Fuck the brass and their worthless asses and them wanting numbers. The Lord has protected the CPD from the worse
of worse tragedies for sometime.
May our young brother in Rockford rest easy in the Lords hands. So tragic as all are, when we lose a member of LE on the deadly street of this county.

Seeing you young guys in a squad makes my old heart feel proud of all you men and women, knowing you hero' watch over the good people. Had a good run and it' your turn to play the role. Laugh you asses off every day guys. The streets are only an illusion ! Anytime I see a couple of copper' or more having lunch, I pick up their tab and hit the door. I know it will make their day for awhile.
God Bless The Officer.
God Bless The Police...
Our Brother, may you Rest In Peace. You will be Always Remembered.
Thank you for your service to our County in the US Army as well as a LEO.
You have served us well. Your job here is done.
May God now welcome you into His open and loving arms.
Again, Rest In Peace, our brother.
Prayers and condolences to his family, and to all of you who have to step in to such situations.
Update. Just announced that Officer Jamie Cox died as a result of blunt force trauma after being dragged almost 2 blocks by the offenders vehicle. The offender died as a result of a single gun shot wound and blunt force trauma from tbe car crash. Remember, vehicles are not dangerous. RIP Officer Jamie Cox, Rockford Police Department. Officer Cox is the 7th Rockford PD officer killed in the line of duty and the first since 2001.
May God take care of you!!!
Rest In Peace Dear Brother
Sickening and sad. Prayers for him and his loved ones.
So sorry to read this. May he rest in peace with our Lord.
Hopefully it was the bullet that did the most damage to that asshole. RIP officer Cox.
Read where the offender was vouchered out of Chicago by HUD to occupy Rockford low income housing....Rockford received $$ for doing this.
Police are the problem, F--k Black Lies Matter, The American Criminal Lovers Union and all the other Left wing A holes
It's time to admit a group of our society refuses to conform the laws of a civilized society. They should be confined to jail; for a long time so as not to prey on society. Listening Illinois politicians FOXX and DART ARE DOING JUST THE OPPOSITE.
God bless him and his family--- further note-- do not get injured working for Chicago
They have announced his wake and funeral times: http://www.wrex.com/story/36776932/2017/11/06/funeral-visitation-times-set-for-fallen-rockford-officer-jaimie-cox
Prayers and my most sincere condolences to family and friends of the honorable fallen.
A true hero.
May god be with you and your family and may you Rest In Peace.
May God look after this young OFFICER and his family. I am retired after40 years in law enforcement and now have a son in police work. To say I worry about him everyday is an understatement. Please stay safe out there
Rest in peace with the Lord brother.
Flags in Illinois are to be at half-staff to symbolize the people of a grateful state are mourning the death of Officer Cox.
May he rest in peace.
