Sgt. Brian Dulle remembered one year after death

LEBANON, OH (FOX19)- Throughout the City of Lebanon are reminders of the sacrifice law enforcement officers give every day. Sgt. Brian Dulle was killed one year ago while deploying stop-sticks to stop a speeding car driven by Marcus Isreal.

Isreal has since been convicted of murder and will spend the next 25 years to life in prison.

"It was a huge loss. If you go back a year ago there were a series of emotions shock, hurt, anger," said Warren County Sheriff Larry Sims. "And a year later we want to remember Brian for how he lived."

At Dulle's grave site, people have brought flowers and there is a small sign that says dad.  It's clear Sgt. Dulle's death has impacted many including those at the sheriff's department.
