By KTRH News Jan 27, 2021 Mayor Sylvester Turner and Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo dedicated the department’s newest helicopter to the memory of fallen Police Officer/Tactical Flight Officer Jason Knox. Members of Officer Knox’s family also attended the ceremony, held at the HPD Air Support Division Hangar at Houston’s Hobby Airport. Tragically, Officer Knox was killed in the line of duty on May 2, 2020, when the HPD helicopter he was in – 75 Fox – crashed while on a call-for-service. The HPD pilot for 75 Fox, Senior Police Officer Chase Cormier, suffered catastrophic injuries in the crash. Officer Knox was known throughout the department and the community for his love of HPD history. As a personal hobby, he restored two Chevrolets, one from 1988 and the other from 1996, to period-correct HPD patrol vehicles, even researching the paint code needed to paint them in the custom HPD blue color. He would then drive these patrol cars, particularly the 1996 Chevrolet Caprice, in parades, car shows, and other public events.
