Jose Antonio Buso, Sr.

Police Officer Tony Buso died as the result of complications after contracting COVID-19 in the line of duty.

Officer Buso had served with the Alamo Colleges Police Department for eight years and was assigned to Palo Alto College. He had previously served with the Bexar County Sheriff's Office. He is survived by his wife, five children, grandchildren, father, and siblings.

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.
