The 53-year-old Tupelo police captain, who was well-known for both his loud, New England accented voice and his toothy grin, passed away early on Friday morning from what is believed to have been a heart attack.

Brett Moyer was “a larger than life figure at (Tupelo Police Department),” according to a prepared statement by police spokesman Major Chuck McDougald. “Every day he demonstrated his devotion to his family and the police family. We will miss his loud, distinctive voice.

Moyer relocated to the south and applied for a job at TPD in 1999 after serving a stint in the U.S. Air Force. He got a job fast. He worked in the patrol division’s traffic unit on a motorbike, as a patrolman, and as a shift supervisor over the years. Moyer was also working at the same

.

His rank increased as his career did. His lieutenant bars were given to him in February 2019. Moyer was recently elevated to the position of patrol captain as part of Police Chief John Quaka’s departmental restructure.

Mayor Todd Jordan of Tupelo remarked, “Capt. Moyer was a key member of the city of Tupelo team and he will be missed. His response time to the needs of the public was remarkable.

His coworkers affectionately referred to him as “Yankee,” according to former Saltillo Police Chief Daniel McKinney, who worked with Moyer for 23 years at TPD. Moyer was a native of the north who was a devoted Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
