It\u2019s a fear many families of law enforcement officers have in the back of their minds whether their loved one will make it home from work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe sudden and never-ending shock when their loved one never returned home. May we never forget the price these families have paid,\u201d said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those heroes who died protecting Polk County communities were honored at Thursday’s 35th Annual Polk County Peace Officers\u2019 Memorial Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou never want to see your child\u2019s name on a plaque because they\u2019re not here,\u201d said Shellie Lane, mother of Deputy Blane Lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polk County deputy Blane Lane, 21, who was killed while serving a warrant last October, is the latest name to be added to the memorial wall. His mother, father, and three-year-old daughter placed a rose on his monument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHonestly, I shouldn\u2019t be here doing this. He should be here. All the recognition that he gets, he should be here to get that,\u201d Shellie said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The memorial recognizes the sacrifices law enforcement officers make every day. Currently, 37 brave officers are remembered at the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt takes a calling; it takes passion. In today\u2019s society especially, there is a need for men and women to have that commitment to the community. A commitment to serve,\u201d said Bill LePere, Chairman of Polk County Law Enforcement Memorial Fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though these officers made the ultimate sacrifice, they will never be forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe can\u2019t be here to do what he loved. He was just taken way too soon,\u201d Shellie said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
