Joe Matuskovic

 On September 8, 2014, while dealing with a disorderly subject creating a disturbance at the Gardens of Ashley River apartment complex, Charleston County Sheriff's Deputy Joe Matuskovic was killed and another Deputy was shot and injured. Charleston County Rescue Assistant Chief Larry Britton also passed away that night from natural causes while providing support to the officers on scene.

Joe was a great friend and Officer while serving at the City of Charleston Police Department, FLETC and the Charleston County Sheriff's Office. He lived life to the fullest and always found a reason to smile.  I will never forget that smile.
            
Our hearts go out to everyone that was involved or affected by this tragic incident, especially to the families of Joe Matuskovic and Larry Britton. 

They are missed, but NOT FORGOTTEN...

Each year in the United States Navy, a highly qualified and elite cadre of Sailors are selected and promoted to the join the ranks of Chief Petty Officer. Since 1893, "The Chiefs" have been relied upon by subordinates and superiors alike for their personal example, technical expertise and above all, their unique leadership capabilities. As the induction process for newly selected Chief Petty Officers is now underway throughout the US Navy, we thought it appropriate to inaugurate "The Chief" in honor and recognition of all past and present CPOs.

 10 Power Cleans (155/105#)
*Alternate work and rest with a partner.











Special Agent Laura Schwartzenberger, 43, was killed while executing a search warrant related to a violent crime against children. Schwartzenberger, who joined the FBI in 2005, was fatally shot by a suspected child pornographer on Feb. 2 in Sunrise, Florida.

Throughout her FBI career, Schwartzenberger supported a range of law enforcement activities, such as nabbing bank robbers, but her primary focus for the last seven years was pursuing those who perpetrated crimes against children.

A longtime CrossFit athlete, Schwartzenberger, along with her two sons, was a dedicated member of CrossFit Vice. Affiliate owners Justin and Michelle Brown said Schwartzenberger was the “epitome of what every box wants in an athlete: encouraging, hard working, coachable, and gritty.”

Schwartzenberger regularly attended Vice’s 5 a.m. classes, where she continuously inspired those around her.

“She never complained no matter how difficult the workout,” the Browns wrote in an email. “She simply showed up, got the work done, and lifted the energy of the class with her presence. Her smile could make the 5 a.m. class joyful and her laugh was infectious.”

Schwartzenberger is survived by her husband and two sons. She will be deeply missed by her CrossFit Vice community, her FBI colleagues, and many other friends and family members.

HERO LaPage

Cause of Death: Gunfire
End of Watch: January 19, 2002
Date of Incident: January 19, 2002
Age: 36
Tour of Duty: 7 yr
Suspect Info: Apprehended
Weapon Used: Handgun; .40 caliber

Officer LaPage was shot and killed by a suspect who went on a shooting spree following a three car accident he was involved in at Cannon Street and Courenay Drive. The accident occurred in front of a hospital helicopter landing pad. Two flight medics who were eating at a nearby restaurant witnessed the accident and ran to the scene to offer assistance. As they checked the victims the suspect reached back into his car, retrieved a handgun, and opened fire, striking both flight medics, killing one.

The suspect then fled the scene and encountered Officer LaPage, who was working a uniformed off-duty security job at a private college dorm. Thinking Officer LaPage was searching for him, the suspect immediately opened fire, striking him in the head, back, and elbow. Officer LaPage was wearing a vest at the time.
