Indiana State Police are investigating the death of a Johnson County law enforcement officer at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy.

Recruit Timothy Guyer was found in his room. He was unresponsive.

Guyer, 49, was going to graduate in two weeks. His death is considered a line of duty death.

Johnson County Sheriff Duane Burgess submitted this response:

It is with great sadness that the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office announces that Deputy Tim Guyer passed away from a medical emergency while training at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy this morning, Tuesday, August 1st, 2023. Our thoughts and prayers are with Tim's family as they navigate this difficult time.

Deputy Tim Guyer’s patrol vehicle will be parked in front of the Sheriff’s Office at 1091 Hospital Road, Franklin, Indiana, as we pay respect to him and his service with the Sheriff’s Office. Members of the public are welcome to leave their sympathies and remembrances at his vehicle.

The Sheriff’s Office is working with the family on honoring their wishes for Tim’s arrangements.

Respectfully,

Sheriff Duane E. Burgess
