Colvin was a member of the U.S. Virgin Islands Police Department. He had two years of service with the Department.
Colvin succumbed to injuries from a gunshot wound he sustained on May 26, 2012, in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. On that date, Officer Georges and his partner were patrolling an area as a result of a shooting the previous night. They approached a group of men loitering near a car wash. As the officers approached, one of the men in the group opened fire on them. Both officers were able to return fire, killing one subject and wounding another.
During the shootout Officer Georges suffered a serious gunshot wound which paralyzed him from the neck down. He was flown to a hospital in Miami, Florida. He seemed to be making progress towards a recovery, but took a turn for the worse and finally succumbed to his injuries.
Colvin Georges joined the force after graduating from police academy in 2010, where he earned the exemplary service award and scored the highest physical fitness score for men.
