It is with profound sorrow and deep respect that we mourn the tragic loss of Detective Sergeant Cody Becker, a dedicated officer with the Northern York County Regional Police Department in Pennsylvania. Sergeant Becker was fatally shot in the line of duty on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, while responding to a domestic violence call—an incident that also involved two other brave officers, Detective Mark Baker and Detective Isaiah Emenheiser.
Sergeant Becker’s life was one of service, sacrifice, and extraordinary courage. His unwavering dedication to protecting others was evident throughout his distinguished career. A shining example of his heroism occurred in September 2011, when he risked his own life to save a mother and her three young children from a burning apartment. Without hesitation, he and a fellow officer entered a third-floor unit engulfed in flames and brought the family to safety. This act of bravery earned Cody recognition and is just one of many instances that reflect his deep commitment to duty and to his community.
Cody was more than just a police officer—he was a leader, a friend, a mentor, and a role model. He was known for his calm demeanor, compassionate heart, and unwavering sense of justice. He led with integrity, inspired those around him, and upheld the highest standards of the badge he wore so proudly.
His loss is felt not only by the Northern York County Regional Police Department, but also by the countless lives he touched throughout his years of service. The pain of this tragedy is shared by his family, his colleagues, and the broader law enforcement community across the nation.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Becker family—his family by blood and his family in blue. We honor Cody’s life, his service, and his ultimate sacrifice. His courage will never be forgotten, and his legacy will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Detective Sergeant Cody Becker, thank you for your bravery, your service, and your unwavering commitment to protecting others. Rest in peace, brother. Your watch has ended, but your impact will endure forever.
