Sangamon County Sheriff Jack Campbell talks about his department's Sgt. Jason Boesdorfer and the mental health struggles of many law enforcement officers. Campbell thanked Mylas Copeland, the director of the Peacekeepers Ride, and those supporting the annual event. The annual Peacekeepers ride starts at the Illinois National Guard headquarters on Camp Lincoln in Springfield. This year the ride, held on July 17, honored Illinois Army National Guard Col. (ret.) James Smith and Sangamon County Sheriff Department Sgt. Jason Boesdorfer, both of whom died in May. Smith served in the Illinois Army National Guard for 31 years retiring as the ILARNG Chief of Staff in 2008. He then went on to serve as the Illinois Department of Military Affairs Chief of Staff from 2008 until his death on May 11, 2022.
