Members of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) Sun Lakes Sheriff’s Posse attended the 24th Annual They Served Well Memorial Tribute Ceremony on May 9. While there, members (Cmdr. Craig Lloyd, Vice Cmdr. Michael Johnstone, Tom Bauder, and Ramon Rubio) presented a check for $2,500 to Sheriff Jerry Sheridan and members of the MCSO Advisory Council who run the Fallen Officer Memorial Fund. These funds, from generous donations of patrons at the event and from local businesses as well, were part of the fundraising event that took place in conjunction with the April 26 semi-annual DEA Drug Take-Back and Shred-a-Thon event in Sun Lakes. These funds are held in trust and are given to the families of fallen officers who lose their life in the line of duty from all law enforcement agencies in and around Maricopa County and throughout Arizona.
