In Remembrance of Officer J.D. Ginn:
On July 10, 1991, Pasadena Police Motorcycle Officer J.D. Ginn responded to a residence after observing smoke billowing from a fenced-in backyard. The mentally disturbed homeowner confronted Officer Ginn, and during an exchange of gunfire, Officer Ginn was shot and killed in the line of duty. He was 29 years of age.
We will always remember Officer Ginn’s ultimate sacrifice to uphold the Oath he swore to protect and serve his community. We tragically lost Officer Ginn 33 years ago today, and although he is gone, he will never be forgotten.
Please keep his family, friends, and co-workers in your thoughts and prayers today as we remember the courageous life he lived.
