Reno Police Department mourns loss of officer
It is with heavy hearts that the Reno Police Department announces the death of one of our newest police officers. Officer Bradley Hartsell suffered an unforeseen medical issue while at his home on December 19, 2019.
Officer Hartsell joined the Reno Police Department in April of 2019, and graduated from the Northern Nevada Law Enforcement Academy on December 3, 2019.
From the time he was 8 years old, Officer Hartsell's life long dream and goal was to become a police officer. In a pre-employment interview, Officer Hartsell stated, " I look forward to helping the City that I love, and helping people in their darkest time." Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Hartsell Family and to his Fiancé, Natalie.
Rest in peace Officer Hartsell, you have achieved your goal and dream, we will take the watch from here.
Services for Officer Hartsell will be held January 4, 2020 at 11:00 am, at Grace Church, 1220 Robb Drive, Reno, NV,
