March 2023 Mission Moment
Sergeant Chris Jenkins
Loudon Cunty Sheriff’s Office, Tennessee
On February
3, 2022, Sergeant Chris Jenkins was struck and killed by a tractor-trailer
while attempting to move a ladder from I-75 near mile marker 74 in Loudon
County, Tennessee.
The ladder had fallen off the back of a utility truck and had created a traffic
hazard on the interstate. Sergeant Jenkins had brought traffic to a stop with a
rolling roadblock and then exited his vehicle to remove the ladder. An oncoming
tractor-trailer was unable to stop and struck Sergeant Jenkins, his cruiser,
and several other vehicles.
The vehicle that dropped the ladder never stopped. The driver of the truck that
struck him was charged with vehicular homicide by intoxication, vehicular homicide
by recklessness, two counts of reckless endangerment, DUI, simple possession of
narcotics, possession of a handgun under the influence, and possession of drug
paraphernalia.
Sergeant Jenkins was a United States Air Force veteran and had served with the
Loudon County Sheriff's Office for 20 years. He is survived by his son,
daughter, mom, fiancée, fiancée’s two daughters, sister, brother-in-law, and
two nephews. His son also serves as a deputy with the agency.
Sergeant Jenkins was a first cousin of Deputy Sheriff Jason Scott, who was shot
and killed in the line of duty on March 12th, 2004, while also serving with the
Loudon County Sheriff's Office.
MADD Services to Victims and First Responders
Heather Estudillo
MADD National Director of Victim Services
When many people think of MADD, they think of us as a legislative powerhouse, a coalition of passionate people working together with law enforcement and other community partners to prevent these awful crimes from happening. What’s surprising to most, is that we offer free robust case management services to victims and survivors of drunk and drugged driving crashes throughout the US.
MADD offers a 24-Hour Helpline for victims and survivors to have someone to talk to and to seek answers to some of the many questions that bubble up after a crash. It’s also important to note, that same Helpline is available for our dedicated first responders who put their lives on the line everyday as they respond to dangerous calls. MADD recognizes and seeks to honor our partners who see the aftermath of these crashes and provide support them as well. If you are reading this and want to connect a victim to services or just have questions yourself, please feel free to reach out to the Helpline at 1-877-623-3435 (1-877-MADD-HELP).
In addition, one of the resources that we have developed through the years is an online brochure for first responders. What we have heard from many first responders is that sometimes these crashes live with you. When you continue with your work or go home at the end of your shift, sometimes that trauma comes to the surface. The brochure is filled with information about what that can look like, and what might be available to help when you are feeling that impact. I’d encourage you to take a look or share with coworker (even if they never outwardly show that impact). https://online.flippingbook.com/view/220885/
Thank you for what you every day! Your prevention efforts and response efforts after a crash is hugely important and impact many lives. You are appreciated.
