Today, on Peace Officers Memorial Day, we pause to remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities.

• Special Deputy Ronald H. Terwilliger – Douglas County Sheriff's Office – End of Watch July 23, 1985  
  
• Corporal Virgle D. Knight Jr. – Douglas County Sheriff's Office – End of Watch July 23, 1985
