On June 9th 2020 veteran Springfield Missouri police officer Mark Priebe was struck after attempting to make contact with a suspect who proceeded to ram Officer Priebe with his vehicle. Officer Priebe was dragged and pinned between the suspect's vehicle and a concrete pillar. At this time Officer Priebe has suffered extensive injuries and it is unknown if he will ever walk again. 

Unfortunately Mark's wife Heather was diagnosed with cancer in 2019 and has been undergoing chemotherapy and other treatments, including a planned surgery in July. These treatments have left her immune system compromised, making it difficult for her to work during the COVID-19 crisis.

Mark is a pillar of the community and one of the most dedicated police officers you will ever meet. Mark participates and helps organize various Special Olympics events, including traveling to Abu Dhabi in 2019 to represent the department he is so proud to serve with.

Mark is an amazing father, son, husband, and friend. We pray that he fully recovers quickly and is back to serving the community he adores.

We are asking for donations to be made to the family of Officer Mark Priebe to help with any expenses associated with his injuries.
