Our deepest sympathy and support goes out to the family of Detective So and to his Scottsdale PD family. Rest in Peace.

It is with an unbelievably heavy heart we announce that Detective Ryan So #1473 has succumbed to duty-related injuries sustained earlier this evening and has passed away. Detective So honorably served the City of Scottsdale and the Scottsdale Police Department for 9 years and ended his watch as a member of the Special Assignments Unit. Detective So also served in the United States Navy. This is an unimaginable tragedy for both Ryan’s family and his police family at SPD. Our thoughts and prayers are with Detective So’s family, his team, and everyone across our police department.
