On March 16, 2022, we lost not only a brother and deputy but a truly special soul—Deputy Dom Calata. Dom was more than a deputy; he was a beacon of kindness, a protector, and a friend to all who had the honor of knowing him. Today marks three years since Dom’s life was cut short. Deputy Dom Calata and Lieutenant Scaniffe were shot during a SWAT operation to arrest a violent fugitive who was facing life in prison for a domestic assault.
Deputy Calata will never be forgotten, and his spirit will continue to inspire us all to lead with courage, compassion, and integrity—just as he did. Rest in peace, Deputy Dom Calata. Your watch has ended, but your impact lives on.
“Here Am I. Send me!”
