The Midwest City Police Department is mourning the reported death of retired Sgt. Tiffany Metzger, a former officer remembered for her years of service, commitment to the community and passionate advocacy for children.
According to a statement shared by the department, Metzger died at approximately 6:03 p.m. after a long battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her loving family at the time of her passing.
Metzger dedicated eight years to serving the citizens of Midwest City, working in both patrol and the department’s crime lab. Throughout her career, she was remembered for her professionalism, compassion and determination to make a difference in the lives of the people she served.
One of the causes closest to Metzger’s heart was supporting children. The department said she was passionate about being a voice for young people and worked to advocate for them in every aspect of her life. Her commitment to children became an important part of the legacy she leaves behind.
Following news of her death, members of the Midwest City Police Department paid tribute to their former colleague, expressing gratitude for her years of dedicated service. Fellow officers and former colleagues remembered Metzger as a valued member of the department and a sister in law enforcement whose contributions would not be forgotten.
The department also expressed its appreciation to the Sanders family for the love, support and care they provided Metzger throughout her life. Their presence and support were described as a source of comfort during her final days.
Metzger, identified by the department as badge #180, leaves behind family members, friends, former colleagues and community members who will remember her for the compassion she showed and the dedication she brought to her work.
For those who served alongside her, Metzger’s passing represents more than the loss of a former colleague. It is the loss of someone who spent years protecting others and using her position to advocate for children who needed a voice.
Her eight years with the Midwest City Police Department formed a meaningful chapter of her life, from her work on patrol to her responsibilities in the crime lab. Beyond her professional duties, however, her commitment to children and the broader community helped shape the way she will be remembered.
As family, friends and members of the law-enforcement community mourn, Metzger’s legacy of service and compassion remains a lasting part of the Midwest City Police Department’s history.
The department’s thoughts are with Metzger’s family, friends and all those who knew and worked with her during this difficult time. Her dedication to the citizens of Midwest City and her advocacy for children will continue to be remembered with gratitude and respect.
