The Sudbury Police dispatcher deployed on U.S. Navy Reserve duty who was injured in Dubai is “doing just fine,” said Police Chief Scott Nix.
Owen Gerow, 22, sustained injuries the first day of the conflict when the United States and Israel attacked Iran and Iran retaliated with strikes on U.S. bases in the Middle East.
Chief Nix said Gerow is not one of the military personnel whose injuries required evacuation to a military hospital in Germany, but instead was treated where he was deployed. He has not returned home, and Nix does not expect him home “for some time yet.”
“He is totally fine, and we are proud of his service,” Nix said. The chief expects Gerow to return to his job with the Sudbury Police Department when he completes his deployment.
There are no other members of the Sudbury police department currently deployed on military reserve duty.
