Our Hearts Are Heavy: Deputy Garrett Pontier

We lost a young, vibrant deputy today in a tragic, off-duty car accident. Our hearts are heavy for all who knew and loved him.

Garrett Pontier, 22, became a SEBA member in December upon graduating the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Academy. Garrett was assigned to the High Desert Detention Center and was at the very beginning of his law enforcement career.

“Garrett was a shining light that drew everyone to him,” said Kenneth Lutz, Garrett’s Captain at HDDC. "He was highly professional and motivated to serve the public. I could not have asked for a better deputy sheriff.”

SEBA extends our condolences and full support to the family.
