Las Vegas Review-Journal Obituary

Brevard County Deputy Juan Vargas, Jr. injured in the line of duty

I wanted to let our loyal fans know a piece of news I was forwarded today. Deputy Juan Vargas, Jr., a Brevard County Deputy Sheriff that will be featured in an upcoming , all-new 20th Season episode of COPS, was injured in the line of duty. I've added a link to the news article and hope that everyone will take a moment to read it and remember like I did that COPS isn't actors and actresses, but real honest-to-goodness men and women serving their communities in one of this nations most dangerous occupations.

Everyone at Langley Productions sends our warmest thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery to our friend, Deputy Vargas.
