The United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Oklahoma is proud to recognize
@OKCPD Sergeant Keaton Zerby as its 2026 Hometown Hero!
In the early morning hours of August 23, 2025, Sgt. Zerby sprang into action after discovering a neighboring law enforcement vehicle engulfed in flames with ammunition inside beginning to explode. Despite the danger, he helped evacuate residents, protect a deputy sheriff’s family, and alert neighbors as a fire threatened to spread through the neighborhood. Fire investigators later concluded that Sgt. Zerby’s quick actions likely saved lives.
As part of America’s 250th birthday celebration, United States Attorneys’ Offices across the country are recognizing individuals whose actions exemplify extraordinary public service, courage, and commitment to their communities. Sgt. Zerby’s selflessness and decisive actions display the very best of law enforcement service, exemplify what it means to be a caring neighbor, and epitomize the Oklahoma Standard!
Congratulations to Sgt. Zerby, our 2026 Hometown Hero!
