Fallen Deputies Honored

The Collier County Sheriff’s Office paid tribute to 10 fallen comrades and their families at a memorial service Tuesday.

The service, part of National Law Enforcement Week, was held at the memorial in front of CCSO headquarters.

The service featured an address from Sheriff Kevin J. Rambosk, the presentation of colors, Pledge of Allegiance and playing of taps. Guest speaker Tom Smith, retired CCSO captain and founder of the CCSO Alumni Association, talked about CCSO’s heritage and rich history.

Sheriff Rambosk offered the memorial address. While members of the Harp and Thistle Pipe Band performed “Amazing Grace,” family members of fallen loved ones lit candles and placed flowers on the memorial table. The Village School choir also performed.
