It’s National Police Week and a time to reflect on and remember the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice while doing the job they loved.
Two of our fallen officers, Officer David Leslie Hagins EOW: December 14, 1980 and Officer Christopher Bieker May EOW: August 19, 1991, were honored this week by the Sandy Springs Police at their new Police Headquarters. Officer Hagins was shot and killed while responding to the burglary of a jewelry store and Officer May was shot and killed while investigating a shooting in a residential neighborhood. Both of these incidents took place in Fulton County in locations that are now within the city limits of Sandy Springs.
We joined Sandy Springs Police, Officer Hagins’ family and fellow officers in a touching ceremony in which a training room was dedicated to each officer to ensure their legacy lives on.
