Help Build A Memorial For Abigail Bieber

Deputy Abigail Bieber was an

outstanding law enforcement officer, and by all accounts, an even better person who left a positive impact on every member of her squad and the countless members of our community who she encountered while on patrol. This tragedy has left our Sheriff's Office family grief-stricken. There is a void within our hearts that can never be filled, but I hope that Deputy Bieber's legacy will be the way she lived her life, as a selfless servant.

With the approval of the family, we can confirm the name of the second deputy found deceased in St. Augustine, FL, on Saturday.

Deputy Abigail Bieber, who patrolled the northwest portion of Hillsborough County, was fatally shot on January 29, 2022. Deputy Bieber, who was 30 years old, had worked with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office since February of 2018. As a passionate advocate for child victims, Deputy Bieber frequently and diligently responded to calls for service related to sexual battery and child abuse. She aspired to one day become a detective within the Criminal Investigations Division Special Victims

Section. During her nearly four years at HCSO, Deputy Bieber had a number of remarkable encounters, including everything from taking drugs off of our streets to serving as a role model to children she met during her shifts. Known for her contagious smile, Deputy Bieber was a friend to fellow deputies and a bright spot in a dark world, as described by a squadmate. Co-workers also described Deputy Bieber as a young woman with a positive attitude who never shied away from tough investigations. She was known for being kind, genuine, caring, and empathetic with the demeanor of a veteran law enforcement officer.

All proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards a memorial at the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office District III Office.
