Police Liasion Officer Deborah Klecker Killed in Iraq

IRVING, TEXAS – June 27, 2005 – It is with great sadness that we announce the death of DynCorp International Police Liaison Officer Deborah Dawn Klecker, an international police liaison officer serving in Iraq with DynCorp International under contract to the Department of State. She was killed June 27 by a roadside bomb.

Officer Klecker, 51, of Bend, Oregon, sustained massive injuries to her pelvic area at about 1:10 pm local time Monday when an improvised explosive device (IED) detonated about 10 meters from the vehicle in which she was traveling. She was airlifted to the combat support hospital in the International Zone, but was pronounced dead at 2:22 pm. One U.S. soldier was wounded.

Officer Klecker was a 19-year police veteran who had been working in Iraq for about two months as an international police liaison officer. In that capacity, she mentored and advised Iraqi police officers who had completed their initial training.

Officer Klecker began her law enforcement career in 1978 with the Marion County (OR) Sheriff´s Department, and served as a deputy sheriff. During her tenure with the department, she held assignments in Patrol and Criminal Investigations. She also was an instructor, teaching about crime scene investigations, crimes against persons, and interviews and interrogations, and she served as a mentor and adviser to recruits.

In 2001, Governor John Kitzhaber appointed her to the board of directors of the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training for the State of Oregon. She was reappointed by current Governor Ted Kulongoski.

DynCorp International extends its deepest sympathies to Officer Klecker´s family, and shares their grief in the loss of this dedicated and courageous police officer.
