On Monday, Sedgwick County Deputy Brian Etheridge was killed in the line of duty. He was laid to rest Friday afternoon.
As colleagues come to grips with what happened, they know the job must go on. People had a chance to learn exactly what that job involves Saturday at the county extension office.
Dozens attended the third annual Law Enforcement Expo in west Wichita. The event had a healing effect for those involved. "It allows them the opportunity to grieve with the agencies and pass on their condolences and their heartfelt thoughts to the officers also," says Colonel Richard Powell of the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office.
Displays included emergency vehicles and a police helicopter. Personnel from several departments including Wichita, Bel Aire, Maize and Valley Center took part.
