COMMUNITY UPDATE: “Tonight, we are releasing video of the unprovoked attack on Officer Caleb Hodam. What you will see is an officer violently attacked while simply doing his job. Make no mistake: this was a targeted ambush.
Officer Hodam fought for his life and won. His survival is a direct result of his training and composure under pressure. I am incredibly proud of his actions and grateful that he is alive today. This incident is a sobering reminder of the dangers law enforcement officers face every day. We release this video in the interest of transparency and to demonstrate the reality of the threats faced by those who protect our community, not just in Edmond, but communities nationwide. We ask the public to view it with the seriousness and respect it deserves.
Please keep Officer Hodam and all our officers in your prayers as we maintain our commitment to trustworthy service.”
