BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (WISH) -- A Monroe County deputy lost her life doing her job when a teen driver struck her while she was helping out at an accident in Bloomington.

Twenty-seven-year old deputy Sarah Jones had only been with the Monroe County Sheriff's Department since February. But her fellow officers say, they were fortunate to have her on the force for the short time she was there.

Now her family, friends and members of the law enforcement community are dealing with the tragedy.

Stop the Insanity

The idea that force encounters will always end without injury is false—and dangerously so. We must do our best to minimize injury. We must also educate the public to understand that the variables inherent to the street, combined with a violent subject, sometimes make an injury-free arrest impossible.
