“We are heartbroken to inform our community that Deputy Dom Calata has passed away,” the agency said in a Facebook update. “Our department members remain grateful for the outpouring of support we have received. We ask that you continue to keep Deputy Calata’s family in your prayers during this difficult time.”
Deputy Calata, a U.S. Army veteran who has served in the National Guard for the past seven years, is married and has a four-year-old son, according to KING.
He joined the PCSD nearly seven years ago, has been a member of the SWAT team for four years, and is assigned to patrol with the Edgewood Police Department, the PCSD said.
Sheriff Troyer said Deputy Calata is someone who “always stepped up and took care of business,” KING reported.
“He’s a local person who has done nothing but public service his whole entire life,” the sheriff added. “He is a big-hearted, great guy [who] got into this job for the right reasons.”
Was a heaven for misfits and recent felons back in the mid 70s - nothing has changed.
My daughter dated Brian off and on while at university. She described both as the funniest people she ever met. They sat behind her in classes and teased each other like two grade school boys. “It was hard to concentrate on the class because they were so funny!”
Yesterday she told me that if there is one saving grace of this all is that the two “sillies are back together making mischief like the old days”.
Thank you Dom for being my girl's friend and a friend to so many others. A true shining light lost too soon
“three-strike violent felon”
This used to qualify them for life in prison. Now it’s: 47 arrests for felonies ... YAWN... 0$ bail and freed
OMG, no way I would've thought he was going to turn to be a racist!
