In Memory of Our Deputies...

This webpage is dedicated to the memory of the officers of the Sumter County Sheriff's Office who unselfishly gave their lives in the line of duty. May we never forget the supreme sacrifice they made in service to the Sheriff's Office and the people of Sumter County.

An inscription on the wall at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C., best describes the sacrifice made by these officers:

"It's not how these officers died that made them Heroes; it is how they lived."
--Vivian Eney, Survivor
