Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I trained Caleb when he was first hired on with SCSO. Prior to that, he did at least 30 ride-a-longs with me. I knew from the start that he would make a great Deputy, and would be a great asset to our agency. He was a combat veteran, possessed great awareness, had a good personality, was always on time, very respectful and a devout family man. We got along very well, and shared many laughs in my cruiser.

A line of duty injury forced me into retirement, so I didn’t get to work the streets with him after he graduated Police Academy. But I did hear that he was doing well, and was a very active unit, working hard to keep his community safe. Then I heard the news that day. I wanted so bad to help him, but there was nothing that could be done.

This world lost a great man that day, Rachel lost her husband, their kids lost their Daddy, and I lost my friend. Rest easy my brother and I’ll see you on the other side!

I worked that day 5/22/25 when Sheriff’s Deputy Caleb Conley was killed in the line of duty, I put him 10-8 (on duty) , because he was suppose to be off that day, but he came to work to do FOT( federal OT). The words I will leave for Caleb’s fellow LEO family, and his family Rachel and the children and his parents. Caleb was a dedicated officer, and I’ll never forget you the drive you had being a deputy was Awesome, and I thank you for giving me the opportunity to work along beside you. RIP #240, even in death your light still shines.

Deputy Sheriff Conley,
On today, the 1st anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army in Iraq. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Caleb you are missed so much by myself and our children. You are missed by your fellow deputies. You are missed by everyone. For those coming here that did not know Caleb, he was an extraordinary man, a wonderful husband, and an exceptional father. Everyone should strive to be like him as a person and fellow LEOs should strive to serve as he did. I pray you all make it home to your families after every shift. Caleb, rest easy love, we’re going to be okay. I cherish all the memories and will continue to tell the children stories of your life and our life together.

Deputy Conley was one of the hardest working units I have ever worked with. He took pride in his career and went above and beyond when it came to serving his community and keeping citizens safe. Not only was Conley a dedicated law enforcement officer, he was dedicated to his family as well. I am thankful for the short time that I got to work with him. He was a great friend to me and he will never be forgotten. Until we meet again, 240.

Lord God of unfailing love, to those families in our beloved nation, the United States of America, who are suffering in the wake of the loss of a law enforcement family member, help us to provide support. Allow us to be their rock and fortress in a time of immense pain and uncertainty. Help us to keep them safe and nourished in their time of grief, suffering beside them as we move toward healing and reconciliation. Lord God, in Your compassionate mercy, hear my prayer. In Christ Jesus, Your beloved Son, and by His authority, I pray. Amen.

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

"Somebody killed a policeman today,
And a part of America died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect
Will be buried with him at his side.
The suspect who shot him will stand up in court,
With counsel demanding his rights,
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids
And spend alone many long nights.
The beat that he walked was a battlefield, too,
Just as if he'd gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast,
To his name they will add a gold star.
Yes, somebody killed a policeman today,
It happened in your town or mine.
While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors,
A cop put his life on the line.
Now, his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street,
And he stands at each new rookie's side.
He answered the call and gave us his all,
And a part of America died."
