A man of true convictions and high moral character. He was deeply committed to DUI enforcement and allowed me the opportunity to do the same as a member of the county-wide DUI squad. I will forever miss him.

Sadly , I Think of you when I pass this intersection; this part of the road was named after you ; honoring your service !! Why has it been reverted back ? I think we should still be honoring you and all officers who lost their lives in service !!! Thank you for your service! Rest In Peace!

I feel so bad for you and your family. Here you were just doing your mob when you're gunned down by a crazed maniac!! There's no rhyme or reason for your SENSELESS DEATH! I appreciate your service as a Law Enforcement Officer and my prayers go out to your friends and family. My prayers also go out to the public that depended upon your for protection.

I will never forget you and your undying passion to keep us safe. On Saturday, I passed by the location of the last DUI Checkpoint that you coordinated in Brandon on August 14, 2007. I remember that night like it was yesterday. The news that you were murdered shortly after a successful DUI Checkpoint that MADD and TAC supported was beyond shocking-- a horrible nightmare. Losing you was a huge loss for HCSO and the entire community. Rest in Peace Sgt. Ron Harrison. Thank you for your commitment and service.

Sgt Harrison was my training Cpl when I was a rookie at HCSO. He ensured I was trained properly and ready for the road before I was cut loose. I remember him saying, "It's crunch time Deputy. One day all of this will be second nature to you. " He was right. I value his leadership and mentoring. He is still missed.
