Deputy Haggard, a police officer should be remembered not by how he died but by how he lived! A brave man has left to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you for your commitment to law enforcement, to your family, and the Lee County Sheriff's Office. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace, Brother!
