Wounded Officer Trevon Giddings Appeals for Public Help After Losing Leg in Line-of-Duty Shooting
Police officer Trevon Giddings is appealing to the public for assistance as he works to rebuild his life after being critically injured while on duty last year.
Giddings was shot three times on May 25, 2025, while responding to a report of masked men in the Potters area. Two of the shots struck his leg, and despite medical intervention, his right leg was later amputated.
Since the incident, Giddings has been adjusting to life with a prosthetic and ongoing rehabilitation. He shared his appeal in a post on Facebook, writing: “I survived something that changed my life forever. Now I’m rebuilding, step by step with my head held high.”
A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to help cover the estimated US$200,000 cost of a prosthetic leg, reconstructive surgery and physical therapy. Just over US$10,000 has been raised so far.

You were injured in line of duty, your entire recovery should be paid for by the government. Wish you well though. Stay strong!
Abena I agree the Police Force supposed to sort out the man…but then again he did put his life on the line for the public… Hmmm we can help…
Imagine this is the country we live in where Gaston brown boast about what a wonderful job he’s doing so much so that he could take off the self respect and higher office hat to go on stage to campaign and celebrate himself as usual… meanwhile the infrastructure is really bad .. police officers risk their lives everyday on the job and when one get injured they still have to make a plea to get help, “SERIOUSLY “.. I pray for you Trevon, you will get through this, just like I saw the strength you displayed in the video after you were shot …
It is sad that those who work tirelessly to serve and protect us are made to suffer when they get hurt in the line of duty. All this officers medical bills should be bourne by the police and by extension the government. This chilling incident should send a dire message to other officers . When you are up and able bodied, we are good. When you are hurt and disabled in the line of duty, you are on your own. Sad! The police welfare association must take the lead in ensuring that this officer bills are taken care of and he is not left out on a limb and begging for help.
