We honor and remember Deputy Magli.

On the afternoon of February 17th, 2021, Deputy Michael J. Magli heard on the radio that there was a drunk driver barreling down East Lake Road in his direction. Knowing the reckless driver was headed toward heavy rush hour traffic, he positioned his vehicle in the median and prepared to deploy stop sticks in an attempt to stop the vehicle. Just as he was about to deploy them, the driver lost control of his truck and struck Deputy Magli.

"Some will say that Michael was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I say nonsense. Deputy Michael J. Magli was in the right place at the right time doing what cops do every day throughout this country: protecting others even if it means grave personal danger to themselves." - Sheriff Bob Gualtieri

It's been five years since we lost Deputy Magli. His family will always have a place in our hearts at the PCSO and each year on this day, we will honor his sacrifice.

Patrolman Price was 27, and had worked for the Clearwater Police Department for three years. He was a veteran of the U.S. Army. We will never forget his service and sacrifice.
