Corporal Dallas Greeson Recovery Fund

The Norfolk Chapter of the Virginia Police Benevolent Association and the Police Benevolent Foundation are asking for your financial support for Corporal Dallas Greeson with the Norfolk Police Department.

In 2023, Cpl. Greeson was diagnosed with lung cancer. During her surgery for the cancer, her vocal cord nerve cord was accidentally cut, which left her unable to speak above a whisper. Her out-of-pocket medical bills continue to rise as her medical team works to find a treatment for her cancer and how to get her voice back. Part of the solution has included vocal cord injections. The injections are temporary, and the team has settled on a surgery that will hopefully correct her damaged vocal cords.

Cpl. Greeson has been employed with the Norfolk Police since January 2009. She is a single mom of two teenage boys.

Deputy Robert John “R.J.” Leonard, Jr. Memorial Fund

The Southeast Tennessee Chapter of the Tennessee Police Benevolent Association and the Police Benevolent Foundation is asking for your assistance in financial support to the family of Deputy Robert John “R.J.” Leonard, Jr. of the Meigs Sheriff’s Office, who died in the line of duty.

On February 14th, Deputy Leonard responded to a call at 9:48 p.m. of reports of a man and woman fighting on a bridge over the Tennessee River near Birchwood. Three minutes later, Deputy Leonard said he was taking a female into custody and was transporting her to the Meigs County jail. About 12 minutes later, according to authorities, an incomplete radio transmission was received. A closer observation of the transmission found that Deputy Leonard may have said “water.” This part of Tennessee is very isolated and rural, making it difficult at times for cellphone reception and the transmission of radio signals. When further contact couldn’t be made, a search ensued. Cellphone and tracking data from the app Life 360 led responders to the area near the Blythe Ferry boat ramp, where officials said several other vehicles have rolled into the water.

The next day, Deputy Leonard’s car was located upside down in the Tennessee River with a female subject in the back seat. The driver’s side window of the vehicle was rolled down, but his body was not inside the vehicle. Deputy Leonard’s body was recovered later.

Deputy Leonard had only been with the Sheriff’s Office for a little over two months.

He is survived by his wife Christa Leonard and their children, Zachary, Evan, Kailynn, Aubrey, and Isabelle along with his Mother, two siblings, several nieces, nephews, and other extended family and friends.

Please help in providing support for this fallen hero’s family.

Deputy Greg McCowan Memorial Fund

The Smoky Mountain chapter of the Tennessee Police Benevolent Association and the Police Benevolent Foundation are asking for your assistance in financial support to the family of Deputy Greg McCowan of the Blount County Sheriff’s Office.

On February 8th, McCowan was shot and killed during a traffic stop that he and a fellow deputy had initiated. During the stop, the driver opened fire on the two deputies. McCowan was fatally injured in the encounter, and the other deputy was shot in the leg. She was able to return fire as the suspect fled on foot. She survived the shooting.

McCowan has been a deputy with the sheriff’s office since 2020. In April 2021, he received a lifesaving award for his part in saving the life of a man who was trapped in a burning vehicle.

He is survived by his children, Cayley and Cayden, and a granddaughter, Ella.
