) - On a beautiful Wednesday morning, dozens of people gathered on the front lawn of the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office to pay respects to fallen members of law enforcement.“Every officer that puts the badge on understands that there’s a danger and there’s a potential that it could be your last day and wonder how they’re going to react. The ones we honored today, they acted well. They acted admirably.
One of those officers who sacrificed his life for his community was former Deputy Sheriff Doug Heist. “Every time a deputy gets hurt, even if it’s a car accident, It still brings back the memories of the day 44 years ago. And like I said, I was 15 years old, and still in high school. It hurts every day. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of my daddy,” his daughter Robin Cline said.
“We really truly appreciate this being held every year so we have a chance to be a part of what he was . Who he was. It’s amazing that they do this every year,” his granddaughter Rebecca Cherry said.Even though it’s been years in some cases, decades in some cases. They remember their loved ones. And they want to know that we remember their loved ones. And this is our opportunity to show them. Not just to tell them, but to show them that their names won’t be forgotten,” Sheriff Simmons said.
