Sgt. Levasseur….After 37 days…and multiple surgeries….
Yesterday was the moment we’ve all been praying for….
After enduring a horrific call for service where he was shot in the face, Sgt. Erik Levasseur was officially released from the hospital yesterday. Pictured here is a powerful sight—Erik walking in uniform standing tall with his wife by his side, strong and resolute, surrounded by the men and women of the Port St. Lucie Police Department and the incredible medical staff of Lawnwood who stood by him every step of the way.
This journey has been a long and painful road—not only for Erik, but for his family, who have carried this weight with unwavering strength, faith, and love. Their resilience has inspired an entire city.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all exceptional doctors, nurses, and medical professionals at HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital and the medical staff at additional hospitals and facilities, whose skill, compassion, and tireless care played a vital role in Erik’s recovery.
Thank you as well to our dispatchers, EMS, fellow officers, our community and every individual who responded, supported, prayed, and stood watch during this time. This was a collective effort of courage, professionalism, and unity.
Later this evening, we will be sharing an exclusive video of Sgt. Levasseur’s Tunnel of Hope—a private and powerful moment as he exited the hospital, surrounded by PSLPD and staff who have become family through this ordeal.
Today, we celebrate strength.
Today, we honor service.
Today, we are reminded that hope is stronger than fear.
Welcome home, Erik. 💙
