San Diego Police Department

End of Watch: June 4, 2021

Jamie Huntley and Ryan Park met and began dating while in the San Diego police academy in 2012. They became officers on the same day in April of that year, married in February 2016, and were promoted to detective on the same day two years later.

Their lives were tragically cut short on June 4, 2021, in a head-on collision with a wrong-way driver.

Jamie grew up in the San Diego area and graduated from La Jolla High School. She went on to play hockey at Elmira College in New York, where she was the team’s enforcer and nicknamed “Bam Bam.” She later became a coach for the San Diego Jr. Gulls hockey team and an international referee with a plan to referee at the next Winter Olympics in 2022.

Ryan Park was a remarkable patrol officer who quickly ascended the ranks and became a homicide detective. He had an unusual and rare talent for outside-the-box thinking and solving crime among an already strong team of detectives within his unit.

He was also a core member of the San Diego Police Department’s Baker to Vegas running team. He was affectionately nicknamed “Skittles” by his coworkers because he always had a bag of candy on hand.

Both Detectives were members of FRWS, and Jamie was additionally a moderator and contributor to the group.

The San Diego Angels Girls Hockey team started a scholarship as a tribute to her. The scholarship assists young women that want to pursue college opportunities, careers in police work or crime lab, or hockey officiating. The scholarship can be found here.
