Esteemed NLPOA Members and Community:

It is with profound sadness that we share the sudden and unexpected loss of Beverly Rodriguez on June 22nd, 2025.

Beverly was our friend, colleague, and longtime member of the National Latino Peace Officers Association.  She has served the Minnesota Chapter since 2014 as a member of the chapter board, and she has also served the National Board as the Northern Region Vice President since 2021.

Beverly  was a Sergeant with the Minneapolis Metro Transit Police Department and most notably led the department’s Homeless Action Team (HAT), where she was able to help countless members of our communities, productively and compassionately.  She will be forever remembered for her kindness, passion, humor, servant heart, athleticism and sense of adventure. She was a beloved friend whose impact will never be forgotten.  Beverly was posthumously promoted to lieutenant prior to the celebration of her life.

Beverly is survived by her two sons and her mother.

A fundraiser in her honor has been initiated and will be used to assist the Rodriguez family during this difficult time:
