| The
Clay County Sheriff's Office Wall of Honor was designed and dedicated
three years ago to recognize the CCSO deputies who had made the ultimate
sacrifice by losing their lives in the line of duty. The hope
of our agency is that, by having their photographs on permanent display,
their sacrifice will never be forgotten and will serve as a constant
reminder of the committment made by every deputy who takes the oath
to serve and protect. The CCSO Wall of Honor is located in our
agency's headquarters located in Green Cove Springs. |
