January 15, 2015 |

The widow of Sacramento County Deputy Sheriff Danny Oliver will be a guest of honor at next week's State of the Union Address from President Barrack Obama.

Oliver's wife, Susan Oliver, will be a guest of honor of Congressman Dr. Ami Bera (D-Elk Grove) during the President's annual speech to Congress. Deputy Sheriff Oliver was killed in the line of duty in Sacramento's Arden area on October 24.

“Sheriff Deputy Oliver is a true hero who was devoted to both his community and his family,” Bera said. “Our law enforcement officers risk their lives every day to protect us and Deputy Oliver paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving the citizens of Sacramento County. We will be forever indebted to him and his loved ones.”
