Today, on National Peace Officers Memorial Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities.
In our county, we remember the 12 peace officers who lost their lives in the line of duty, including 2 from our own Sheriff’s Office, Deputy Walter Leinberger and Deputy Jose “Tony” Diaz.
Their courage, dedication, and selfless commitment to protecting others will never be forgotten.
These heroes answered the call to serve with honor and stood willing to protect their communities at all costs. Today, we remember their sacrifice, support their families and fellow officers, and renew our gratitude for all who wear the badge.
Please join us in honoring their legacy and keeping their memory alive.
