Deputy Norris... Not Forgotten

Deputy Norris was one of many recruits shown on the recent TV show titled "Rookies" on A&E. The show gives the public an inside look into the type of training officers receive once they get hired and placed on patrol.

After just 4 weeks of getting "cut loose" (successfully completing the FTO program and going solo), Deputy Norris was dispatched to a domestic violence incident involving a gun. Deputy Norris was the first officer to arrive on-scene, where he was confronted by gunfire. A bullet struck him under his arm, where his vest did not protect him. One of his training officers was one of the officers who backed him up on this call and found Norris lying motionless on the ground when he arrived. He was transported to the local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

This is a very tragic story. If you watch the actual episodes of Deputy Norris's training, you can tell how happy of a kid he was and how grateful he was for being given the opportunity to serve his community.

Above is a video I watch frequently that really shows how human he is, as well as all cops in general. Please take a moment to watch the video in honor of Deputy Norris.

RIP Deputy Norris. You will never be forgotten.
