Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Elmer Marion "Okie" Parmer
I wish a lot of today's law enforcement could have met you and saw how law enforcement and justice is to be delivered. Thanks Okie for being an inspiration for me.

This week we remember the the tragic death of Deputy Okie Parmer, an officer who set an example of what fair, imparcial and just law enforcement should be. Though just in grade school at the time of Okie's death, I remember him always having time to waive or speak to young people and provide help if needed. I feel certain, he was one of the reasons I chose a career in law enforcement. I will definitely remember him in my thoughts and prayers this week.
