Deputy Pollard, a police officer, should be remembered not by how she died but by how she lived! A brave woman has left to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you for your 8 years of commitment to law enforcement, your family, and Texas county law enforcement. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace, Sister!
