Eclectic Police Department
This is one of the hardest posts we’ve ever had to make.
The Eclectic Police Department is deeply saddened to announce the sudden loss of Corporal Desmond Bailey, who passed away on July 19, 2023.
Bailey spent his life serving his community, first with the U.S. Marines and then the U.S. Army where he retired as a Colonel. He later pursued a career with Law Enforcement and began his career with the Prattville Police Department and finished his career with the Eclectic Police Department. His colleagues described him as courageous, selfless and fearless.
Corporal Bailey, you will be greatly missed. Rest in peace, and may God welcome you home. We love you brother. We will take it from here. Please keep his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers. We will release funeral arrangements at a later date.
