Honor Mission

Joshua Wade Weeks, Veteran

USA, LEO – WoT
Adel, Georgia – 04-03-21

The Patriot Guard Riders have the honor of standing for US Army veteran and Adel Police Sergeant Joshua “Josh” Wade Weeks. Josh served in the United States Army for 8 years and was awarded a Purple Heart for injuries sustained. He began his law enforcement career as a Jail Officer and Deputy Sheriff for the Cook County Sheriff’s Office. In 2015, he was hired at the Adel Police Department, after completing certification at the South Georgia Regional Police Academy. Sgt. Weeks quickly rose through the ranks at the Police Department from Patrol Officer to his current rank as a Sergeant and Shift Commander. Sgt. Weeks shouldered many important responsibilities at his agency to include Special Weapons and Tactics (S.W.A.T.) Commander. Most importantly, he proudly carried the title of “Field Training Officer” which enabled him to use his skills, knowledge, and experience to train new officers to serve his community with the same service and respect as he had exhibited. At the time of his passing, Sgt. Weeks was in the beginning stages of his pursuit to become a Drug and Gang Investigator for the City of Adel. Once again, Josh had put his best foot forward, wholeheartedly volunteering for the position in hopes of making his community as safe as possible.
