The young daughter of a fallen Arizona law enforcement officer got a bittersweet sendoff from her family in blue July 21. Her very own Sheriff’s escort saw her safely to her first day of kindergarten.
Five-year-old Julianna Kinnard, from Chandler, received flowers from Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office deputies outside Conley Elementary School, and they offered hugs and words of encouragement. Several mounted deputies were also present, a nod to Julianna and her late father’s shared love of horses.
