Officer Christopher Abbott Memorial

The Bellevue Police Department is saddened to announce the passing of Officer Christopher Abbott.  Officer Abbott unexpectedly passed away today (November 18th), after suffering a medical emergency.  Officer Abbott served as an officer for the Bellevue Police Department for over 22 years.  Officer Abbott started as a road patrol officer, but was a member of the department’s Special Services Unit, which is commonly referred to as our Community Policing Unit, since 2009.  Officer Abbott was known for being hardworking, always willing to help anyone, and a dedicated husband, father, and friend.  Officer Abbott enjoyed cheering for the Iowa State Cyclones, attending the College World Series, but most importantly he loved being a dad to his two sons and husband to his high school sweetheart.   We are heartbroken at this loss both for his family, friends, and our agency.  Please keep all those that knew Officer Abbott, in your thoughts and prayers.  #165
