Families gathered during National Law Enforcement Week to honor 14 fallen officers from Southwest Florida.
A memorial and candlelight service was hosted by Collier County Sheriff’s Office at First Baptist Church of Naples in North Naples Thursday night for the local officers who died in the line of duty.
Among those honored was Sgt. Steven Dodson, who died in the line of duty in 2017. Life without her son is still tough on mother Phyliss Dodson Martin.
“A sudden death is not just taking a whole in your heart,” Phyliss said. “It’s taking a hole in your life.”
