A Marine veteran is now the second double-amputee police officer in the United States after graduating from the Fort Worth Police Academy on Dec. 11, 2020.
Zach Briseno always had intended to become a police officer. But first, he wanted to serve in the Marine Corps. The now 35-year-old Fort Worth native had enlisted right after graduating high school in 2005, and deployed twice to Iraq.
On his second tour in November 2007, Cpl. Briseno was riding in a Humvee in Fallujah when an IED detonated directly beneath his seat, blowing off his legs.
