CBS 17 Shares Garner Local Heroes Story

Garner Local Heroes 2022 - Brothers in Uniform

Thank you to CBS 17 for joining us earlier this month to share the Garner Local Heroes story with our local viewing community here in the Triangle!

A Wake County deputy shot in the line of duty last year was honored Tuesday in Garner.

Sergeant Ronald Waller was one of six first responders awarded for their bravery at the “Garner Local Heroes” breakfast Tuesday morning. — View Full Story

We particularly love this candid picture (above) captured at the event of Sergeant Ronald Waller of Wake County Sheriff’s Office reuniting with one of the Raleigh Police officers on scene providing support the day Sergeant Waller was shot in the line of duty. The photo captures the brotherhood (and sisterhood) that our local heroes uniquely share in this field of work.
