## Resource

A hero’s final act: Deputy Adam Heitman, just 38, died moments after helping bring a dangerous suspect to justice — a man who’d jumped fences and crossed water, only to be stopped by Heitman and his K-9 partner Thanos. The arrest was clean, but tragedy struck less than an hour later when Heitman suffered a sudden medical emergency. Despite heroic efforts by paramedics and hospital staff, he couldn’t be saved. His wife and two daughters are left grieving, and law enforcement across the country mourns the loss of a dedicated officer whose life and sacrifice remind us of the hidden dangers and unpredictable nature of the job.
