The peace and tranquility of Orange County was shattered in January when the community experienced the heartbreaking and incomprehensible loss of two cherished local law enforcement officers, the Orlando Police Department’s (OPD) Lieutenant Debra Clayton and Orange County Sheriff’s Deputy First Class (DFC) Norman Lewis.

Separate road renaming ceremonies were held and both events were attended by the families of Lt. Debra Clayton and DFC Lewis, the local law enforcement community, community leaders, elected official and dignitaries.

A portion of Pine Hills Road between Silver Star Road and State Road 50 in Orange County was renamed “Deputy First Class Norman Lewis Memorial Highway” on Aug. 16.
