Patrol Officer Vu Nguyen Memorial

On July 2, 2018 Cleveland Patrol Officer Vu Nguyen was engaged in training exercises preparing to join the canine unit when he suddenly collapsed, victim to apparent heat stroke.  Sadly, he died on July 6, 2018.  Officer Nguyen leaves behind his wife and two daughters, ages 8 and 15.  He was a dedicated 20-year veteran of the Cleveland Division of Police who was well-liked and respected by both his colleagues and the community he served.  He will be greatly missed.

The Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association, of which he was a loyal member, through its 501 (c) (3) charitable arm CPPA Charities Inc., has established this account to help his family with current and future expenses, including health care bills, funeral expenses, and the myriad expenses associated with providing a solid foundation for his wife and daughters’ futures.  100% of the funds donated to this effort (net of any transaction fees) will be given to his family for these purposes.
