TALLAHASSEE, FL – Attorney General Bill McCollum today released the following statement after the tragic deaths of two Tampa Police officers killed early this morning in the line of duty:

“My thoughts and prayers are with the families of Tampa Police Officers Jeff Kocab and Dave Curtis and the entire Tampa Police Department as they grieve the loss of two exceptional public servants just eleven months after the loss of Corporal Mike Roberts, another fine Tampa police officer killed in the line of duty last August.

“The safety of Tampa residents was the first priority for Officers Kocab and Curtis, and today they selflessly made the ultimate sacrifice to protect their city. They will certainly be missed not only by their loved ones, but also by the city they worked to keep safe.”
