Incident

You were my first Sarge, my trainer, the king of organizing and compassionate policing. When people ask me why I’m so organized I say I took it on after I lost a friend many years ago. I have no clue how I found this site today myself as many of us are stating. You are missed, you are remembered and you mattered. Thank you my friend. Moody recalling your laugh, thank you, I could hear it again and had forgotten. Love to his family and friends when you come by.

Tributes

I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Deputy Sheriff Ingram gave the Orange County Sheriff's Office 8 years.
Thank you for your service to the Orlando community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
