Captain Luker will require surgeries to repair broken bones, arterial damage, and nerve damage. Once they complete the initial surgery in Corpus Christi, he will be transferred to a larger city in Texas for additional surgeries.
APPD Chief Blanchard said that Luker has “excelled quickly, rising through the ranks to patrol captain. But don't be fooled; that position has him maintaining many skills, including - boat operations, marine rescue operations, investigative duties, and TCOLE-certified instructor duties for the department and area law enforcement staff. And on top of all that, he maintains his assigned captain duties.
At this time, Capt. Luker is the sole breadwinner. Temporary living/travel expenses from the impending out-of-town medical needs place the family in a significant financial dilemma. As a result, his partners in the business have created this donation fund account for those who would be ever so generous in giving back and helping out the family.“
