Officer Ann Guinta was killed in an automobile accident while responding to a report of a fight aboard a transit bus.

As she came over a slight hill on North Decatur Road near Gifford Drive, she swerved to the right to avoid striking a vehicle which was in the left-hand lane. Her patrol car clipped the back of the truck. Her patrol car went out of control and turned onto its side in a wooded ravine. The top of the patrol car struck a tree, pinning her inside.

Officer Guinta had been employed with the DeKalb County Police Department for five years, and is survived by her 6-year-old son.

Ann, I am still able to get a good laugh from the calls and situations we stumbled our way through. Of course I still get the biggest laugh from our classic line we would pose to each other in the middle of situations such food fights,one neighbor complaining that his next door neighbor's dog( which turned out to be about the size of a rat) continues to poop in his yard , " Wait did they teach us how to handle this type call in the academy? Maybe we should call someone else and let them handle this.". We could get so tickled and never break a smile. Seems like a million years ago. There is a saying i love that says the true measure of a person is not how long they live, but how long they continue to live in the hearts of others when they are gone. This is the perfect saying to describe you. Just looking at the comments on this site proves my point.
