Today, we remember and honor Florissant Police Officer Glennon Fernau.

On March 23, 2003, while chasing a suspect on foot, Officer Fernau fell down a flight of concrete stairs, sustaining serious injuries that included partial paralysis. Due to the extent of his injuries, he was forced to medically retire the following year.

On May 28, 2009, Officer Fernau underwent spinal surgery related to his injuries.

Tragically, he passed away the next day due to complications from the procedure.

Officer Fernau proudly served the Florissant Police Department for two years. His dedication and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Officer Glennon Fernau made the ultimate sacrifice.
