On Sept. 20, Jeffrey was serving a warrant in the 5300 block of Aeropark when he and another officer were shot while trying to arrest a man who was wanted on drug charges. He graduated from Sam Houston State University with a degree in Criminal Justice before he joined the department in 1990. He was assigned to the Major Offenders unit.
