The 5K race is named in honor of the late Special Agent (SA) Jerry Dove, a native West Virginian. Prior to his FBI career, he was attached to the West Virginia State Police as an Attorney Advisor while employed by the West Virginia Office of the Attorney General. While assigned to the FBI’s Miami Field Office, SA Dove was killed in the line of duty in a shoot out with two serial bank robbers in the infamous “Miami Firefight” on April 11, 1986. SA Ben Grogan was also killed. SA Dove has been honored for his heroic actions at numerous memorial services in Miami, the District of Columbia, and here in Clarksburg.
The FBI Jerry Dove Memorial 5K is dedicated to the memory of SA Dove and to all law enforcement officers, firefighters, military personnel, and others who were killed while serving in the line of duty.
The FBI Jerry Dove Memorial 5K is sponsored by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Citizens Academy Alumni Association (FBICAAA). And is held on a Saturday in October at the Federal Bureau of Investigation Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division Complex located in Clarksburg, West Virginia.
