Senior Police Officer Chuck Williams died from complications as the result of contracting COVID-19 while on duty.

Officer Williams had served with the Corpus Christi Police Department for 35 years and was assigned to the Directed Patrol Division.

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.
