Ronnie , I remember when you were working over in booking and I would go over in the office and talk with you. You were so proud of your wife Tina you would always brag to me about her and what you were buying here for a Christmas, Birthday , Anniversary or just because gift. I remember you said you wanted her to have the best of everything. You were joking about buying her a ring for every finger but that you did. I remember you would always joke about the bathroom incident but we know who was in fault there. You are greatly missed . Rest in paradise Ronnie Brown.

My dear Dad it has been 5 years and it seems like yesterday when I got that horrible call from Ma. The kids are getting so big and they miss you like crazy. The boys are into sports now and I know that you would have loved to see them play. I would do anything to hear you call my bucket head and even pick at me about me talking slow. I love you big guy. Gone but NEVER forgotten. A man remebered never dies!!!

Sgt. Brown,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of Polk County. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy. There is no tougher job in Law Enforcement than that of a Corrections/Detention Officer.

Sergeant Brown.

The three C’s of Corrections are Care, Custody, and Control. But there are actually four C’s. Courage is the forth one. I am proud to tell people I am a Detention Deputy! We work in a place most people are scared to go. Your Professionalism was an inspiration to everyone around you. I will be praying for you family and Polk County Detention! The guy that did this will meet justice. Watch over all of the Detention Deputy and Correction Officers. Watch over us as we work among the worst people in our society.

Do you know why God made Detention Deputies and Corrections Officers?
So Law enforcement would have Hero’s!

Rest easy Sarg! We got watch from here!

For Detention Sergeant Ronnie Brown:

Each of us in the criminal justice system is a servant of those who inhabit this great country we live in. Each of us dedicates ourselves to the betterment of life for those around ua. Eash of us places our lives at stake for peace and justice.

The attack upon Sergeant Ronnie Brown is an attack on law, justice and we as a people. Ronnie was at the front. He was bravest among us at this time. He is the noblest hero. His family is feeling the sharpest pain. Feeling the most loss. Our thoughts and our prayers are with them during this terrible time.

When the day of accountability comes, and it will, Ronnie can be among the first to claim his reward for having protected his fellow citizens in the most honorable way possible -- laying down his life in the performance of his sworn duty. No honor is higher. No dedication is greater.

As both a retired state trooper and Lake County FL sheriff's deputy I render Ronnie a final salute.
