It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Officer Angela Embry, a devoted member of the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD). Angela’s death by suicide has left her family, friends, colleagues, and the wider community in deep mourning. Her loss is a powerful reminder of the importance of mental health awareness and the urgent need to support those who dedicate their lives to serving and protecting others.
Throughout her career with LMPD, Angela was recognized for her unwavering commitment to public safety and her compassion for the people of Louisville. She worked tirelessly to protect her community, often going beyond the call of duty to ensure the well-being of those in need. Her colleagues remember her as a dedicated officer, a trusted friend, and a woman whose presence brought reassurance and hope. Her kindness, professionalism, and determination left a lasting mark on everyone she served alongside.
Beyond her role in law enforcement, Angela was a beloved daughter, sister, and friend. She was known for her bright smile, her warm sense of humor, and her generous heart. Those closest to her will remember the countless ways she put others first—whether through words of encouragement, acts of kindness, or simply being a steady source of support. Her passing leaves a void that cannot be filled, both in her family and in the community she loved so deeply.
Angela’s story also shines a light on the challenges faced by those in law enforcement. The pressures, sacrifices, and unseen struggles they endure remind us of the critical importance of mental health care and the need to remove stigma around seeking help. Her family and colleagues hope that her life and legacy will inspire others to reach out for support and to show compassion toward those who may be struggling in silence.
A memorial service will be held to honor Angela’s life, her service, and the immeasurable impact she had on her community. While her absence is felt profoundly, her memory will live on in the love she shared, the lives she touched, and the example she set of service, strength, and compassion. Officer Angela Embry will never be forgotten.
