Cpl. Lucas Nagel
It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that the Caroline County Sheriff’s Office lost one of our own this past weekend the night of December 31, 2022. Corporal (Cpl) Lucas L. Nagel, a 6-year law enforcement veteran of the Sheriff’s Office lost his battle with PTSD tragically and took his own life. Cpl. Nagel’s death has touched every member of the Sheriff’s Office, the Law Enforcement community, our partner agencies, and the community as a whole.
Cpl. Nagel graduated from Colonel Richardson High School in 2013 and joined the US Army as a Military Police Officer. He was on active duty in the Army for two years and is currently a Corporal in the Army Reserves. While serving with the Sheriff’s Office as a Deputy Sheriff, Cpl. Nagel deployed with the Army several times, most recently to Guantanamo Bay Cuba to aid in the detention of Afghan Prisoners. Cpl. Nagel did not stop his service to his community with Law Enforcement or the Military, as he was a coach for Colonel Richardson High School Baseball. At the time of his passing, he was assigned to the School Resource Officer Division as an SRO for Colonel Richardson High School where he excelled at keeping the entire campus safe and made many personal friendships with the students and staff of the school.
At this time, we do not have any information on the date, time, or location of the arrangements, but we will post them when we do. We have attached photos of Cpl. Lucas Nagel with this post for those to share in his memories and to never forget the lasting impression he has made on many many people over the years. We ask that everyone remember the good times and memories you had with Cpl. Nagel, and keep his wife, and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
We also ask that if you or anyone you know of that struggles with mental health/PTSD, please reach out to someone even if it is to just talk about issues you are facing in life. We have attached this link https://health.maryland.gov/bha/Pages/988md.aspx for additional resources for those that need assistance or to just talk.
Cpl. Nagel will always be a member of our family here at the Caroline County Sheriff’s Office and his wife and family will never be left alone, as we will look after them just as Cpl. Nagel is now looking after all of us.
