During National Police Week, the City of Chester Police Department would like to extend our deepest condolences and prayers to the Greenwood Police Department, the family, friends, and fellow officers of Police Officer DJ Keller following his tragic End of Watch on May 11, 2026.

Officer Keller lost his life while responding to assist fellow officers during a pursuit involving suspects connected to multiple shooting incidents. His courage, sacrifice, and dedication to serving his community will never be forgotten.
