Philip Edward Street

Captain Philip Street died as the result of complications after contracting COVID-19 while on duty at the Walker County Jail.

Captain Street had served with the Walker County Sheriff's Office for seven years and had previously served as the elected sheriff of Dade County for 20 years.

Beginning in early 2020, thousands of law enforcement officers and other first responders throughout the country contracted COVID-19 during the worldwide pandemic due to requirements of their job. Many of these first responders have died as a result of COVID-19, and continue to do so as the virus spreads across the United States.
