Benny Napoleon, Sheriff of Wayne County, Michigan Passed Away From COVID-19

Benny Napoleon, a sheriff in Michigan and former Detriot police chief, died from COVID-19 complications.

“Remember his generosity, integrity, and faithfulness as a public servant for over 45 years,” Tiffani Jackson, Napoleon’s daughter, said.

Since 2009, Napoleon has served as Wayne County sheriff. He ran for mayor in 2013 but lost to Mike Duggan.

“I cannot think of a leader in this town who has been more loved and admired than Benny, Mike Duggan said. “He was born in the city, served our community courageously his entire adult life, and loved Detriot as much as anyone I’ve ever known.”
