Sheriff Patrick Firman says officers need to be remembered for their sacrifice.

"Our staff, they run toward danger. That's very different and that's very counterintuitive. I think every day they put on that uniform, they come to work, they don't know what's going to happen. They're dealing with a very difficult population. And they do it anyways," Firman said.
