Today, we honor the life of Amber Hagerman.
She was just 9 years old when she was abducted and murdered 30 years ago.

From unimaginable loss came lasting change. Amber’s legacy led to the creation of AMBER Alerts, a system that has helped bring more than a thousand children home safely.

We remember Amber today and the lives her story continues to protect. Her murder remains unsolved.

Sheffield Village has lost a unique soul. Aaron was an exceptional police officer who was proud to serve the community he grew up in, the community he loved. If you knew Aaron you know what a character he was, but at his core and most importantly Aaron was a loving father, husband and a good man. Our hearts break for his family, for his friends, for our brothers and sisters in blue and for the community we serve. Peaceful rest Aaron, you will be missed.
