Officials say Officer Arrowood was dedicated to serving the community and patrolled Rock Hill until his first diagnosis of cancer. Officer Arrowood underwent treatment with the goal of returning to work and serving the community he loved.
Officials say Officer Arrowood was resilient and courageous and fulfilled his goal of returning to his duties on the patrol unit until a second diganosis was reported. In between treatments, Officer Arrowood would serve the Rock Hill Community by taking reports by phone and answering numerous calls for police that did not require an in-person response.
The Rock Hill Police Department released this statement:
The Rock Hill Police Department extends condolences to Trevor’s parents, Chief Jeff Arrowood and Kerry, all of his family, and all those affected by his loss. To the Arrowood Family, Thank You for gifting us with a selfless guardian who truly served the Rock Hill Police Department and the citizens who reside in our city. Thank you to the all who contributed to the recent BBQ fundraiser for Officer Arrowood or donated to his treatment efforts. Officer Arrowood may have left us, but the legacy he leaves behind will not be forgotten.
