Bio: Alex was born December 16, 1987, in Bristol where he attended Bristol Eastern High School and before his untimely death, he served his beloved community for 8 years (2014-2022) as a member of the Bristol Police Department.
Alex was incredibly proud of his profession and served his hometown with conviction and integrity.
Alex was one in a million, his smile would light up a room. He was always in a good mood and would lighten even the darkest of days with his infectious laughter. Alex was dedicated to his family and friends, he loved spending time with them especially his loving parents, who he never allowed to need or want for anything; his beautiful wife Katie and their adorable dog Gizmo, who he adored both so much; his sisters, his first friends; their husbands, with whom he shared a special bond; and his nephews, who were the light of his life.
When he wasn't spending time with family he would be spending it with his lifelong friends. Growing up as the only son, his friends were his brothers. He would often say how lucky he felt to have so many brothers in childhood through to adulthood, where he went on to meet so many more of his brothers in law enforcement. Alex's love was selfless and he would never turn down an opportunity to be there for the people he loved.
Alex had a need for speed and to say he was a BMW M-Series enthusiast would be an understatement. Alex was passionate about his physical fitness, which helped offset his addiction to sweets and dessert. Alex was a lifelong Yankees and Patriots fan, a contradiction that only those of us from Connecticut can understand.
As an Officer with the Bristol Police Department, Alex served as a longtime advisor for the Bristol Police Explorer Cadet Program. A unique learning experience in policing through instruction, demonstration, and hands on training. Alex was passionate about teaching young adults the values needed to succeed in serving their community with integrity and commitment.
In April of 2021 Alex was selected to join the Central Regional Emergency Response Team (CR-ERT) or SWAT, a team covering the towns of Bristol, Plainville, Southington and Plymouth. Joining the 'Team' was one of the many highlights of his career. The Bristol Connecticut Police Department CR-ERT came in first place at the Connecticut SWAT Challenge this year which was held at the Hartford Gun Club. The event was a 3-day competition against 28 teams which consisted of both law enforcement and military personnel. These 28 teams were from all over the United States and traveled to East Granby Connecticut to compete.
Alex will forever be in our hearts, and we will remember him fondly through our shared photos, memories and stories. |

Summary: |
Sergeant Alex Hamzy and Lieutenant Dustin Demonte were shot and killed in an ambush in front of a home on Redstone Hill Road, near Birch Street, at about 11:00 pm.
Officers had responded to a business earlier in the evening in response to complaints about a disorderly patron. Officers who responded to the call issued the man a summons and released him. The man then went home, armed himself with an AR-15 rifle, and made a fake 911 call reporting a disturbance at his home. As officers arrived at the scene, the man opened fire on them from the front yard.
Sergeant Hamzy and Lieutenant Demonte were both fatally wounded, while a third officer suffered non-life-threatening wounds.
The subject was found dead with a gunshot wound at the home.
Sergeant Hamzy was posthumously promoted to Sergeant.
