Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Jules, your birthday was Friday. You would have been 27 years old if you were still here with us. In my heart you will always be here. We had a celebration of your life with family and friends. We couldn't let your birthday pass without some kind of acknowledgement. It turned out to be a wonderful night. There were tears. There was laughter and joy. There was healing and peace. God blessed us all with many beautiful memories of your days here on earth. We miss you so much. I love you Jules.

I VISITED YOU ON YOUR BIRTHDAY FRIDAY MORNING. AS I WAS GETTING BACK IN MY CAR, WILLIE NELSON HAD JUST STARTED PLAYING ON US 101. WHEN THE SONG WAS FINISHED BEAR MAN SAID THAT YOUR MOTHER HAD REQUESTED THE SONG BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR 27TH BIRTHDAY TODAY. I CRIED. I MISS YOU. IT GAVE ME A GOOD FEELING TO HEAR THE SONG AS I WAS LEAVING BECAUSE I STILL HAVE A HARD TIME WITH YOU BEING GONE! YOU'RE ALWAYS ON MY MIND! LOVE YA!

I have only worked in dispatch for three weeks now, but in that short time and thanks to the ride a long program I have met some very good men and women officers. One thing I heard from each of them was how great an officer Julie was. And with tears in my eyes, I deeply regret never getting to meet her. Everywhere I go in the Communications Center I see reminders and memorials for our angel of justice, Julie Jacks. And though I never met her, I know her spirt is with me every time a person shares a story of Julie to me. And the more stories I hear, the better aquianted I get with Officer Julie Jacks. Yes, you may be gone, but you are no where near forgotton. I swear, as I begin my career as a Chattanooga Dispacher, that I will do the best job I can to show that your death was not in vain. Keep our seats warm in Heaven, we will see you soon.

It doesn't seem possible that it's been 8 months since Julie was killed. Sometimes it's still hard to believe that she's gone; her death has left such an empty place. I do believe that she lives on in our memories and that her spirit will live forever in our hearts. As our minister said at her funeral, she was a bright and shining star that burned out much too soon.....We can let a little of that stardust fall on us and hold onto and treasure the precious memories that she left behind.

Thank you so much for the wonderful reflections left here on this Memorial Page. Each memory is cherished and helps ease the pain. Just knowing that so many people care and have acknowledged her ultimate sacrafice is a great comfort.

May God Bless You All

Julie,

The first time I met you I was doing a ride along with Bobby and I was so impressed by you. You and Bobby received a domestic call involving a drunk. We all arrived on the scene, you gave the drunk several chances to find a way home but he refused and became aggressive and argumentative. You and Bobby had to fight with him, once cuffed he refused to walk so you and Bobby carried him out of the house. Once outside he became even more aggressive kicking and refusing to get into the car. You picked him up with little assistance and put him in your car. I was so impressed with you. I realized that someone of stature could handle a man of the size anyone could do it. There were times in the academy and still times now I think I can't do something I think of that moment. You gave me so much inspiration and determination. I have your picture in my car so that I can see it everyday to remind myself of the kind of person you are and what a GREAT police officer you were. You are truly missed Julie by all of your brothers and sisters at the CPD and you will never be forgotten. God bless you, your family, Bobby and friends. THANK YOU.

"Yes I Can"

Can I do this job? Yes I can,
and just as good as any man.
I'll be there for you when you need me,
and roll around in the bar ditch if need be.
Night and day go by,
and it seems that their is not enough time to cry.
End of another shift and I lie in wake,
Hoping that I will make a difference on the next call I take.
God, what can I do to help end this sorrow?
Make an example of myself so that others will follow?
That is the answer that I have been looking for,
God, now please give me the strength to go through that door.
Hurry and don't fall behind,
We've got criminals in here to find.
Come on ROOK, we've got things to do,
By the way, I was Rookie of the Year too.
Can you do this job? Yes you Can.
And just as good as any man....

Hi Officer Jacks,

I was in the police academy when this happened. All law enforcement officers love you as a member of the family. With all the cadets from different areas we grieved and prayed for your family. You were an insperation to all of us. We trained hard and was proud of you for all the efforts that you gave in your battle to make the world a better place. I hope that I can be as brave as you were. Remember how special you are to have worn that badge and represented your department. You will go down proud and go up to Heaven safe from all the evil that is on this earth, which you where trying to control the day that God took you home.RIP

A good friend told me about this tragedy, Im a mere civilian. However, I was taken back by this. And it pressed my heart to write such a reflection. I only knew your name. I heard good things about you. Rest In Peace Julie. Somehow i feel like you were the type of person who "reflected" greatly upon others. May God bless your family , friends and your fiance.

Julie, you made law your career to try and make Chattanooga a better place.
Now three years later your death we all have to face.

In one split second he took your gun and then took your life.
Making it forever impossible for you to be a mother or a wife.

The loved ones you left behind find it so hard to believe you're gone.
Their hurt goes so deep and they sometimes feel so alone.

The one you were to marry, it has torn his world apart.
He will now carry your memory forever in his heart.

Your death has left a void the ones you worked with can't seem to fill.
But we don't ask why or question God; we only accept his will.

All those who loved and cared for you have to find a way to go forward and not look back.
For your memory will live forever in our hearts Officer Julie Jacks.

Julie, I knew you ever so briefly but you always had a way of making everyone smile. The first time I met you was in General Sessions court you were there more than almost anyone else. You were a great officer and i truly miss you. My prayers go out to your family and friends and your fiance Bobby. I hope that I never see another officer robbed of their future. There will always be an empty space in all of our hearts. We will never forget you. Goodbye my sister in blue I hope we will meet again.

Rest in Peace, Julie. You are not forgotten.

I want all of you officers (especially those in the CPD) to know how much I appreciate what you do. Thank you for being there when my partner and I need you, for just stopping by when you see us on scene to see if we are OK, for making sure that our world is a little safer and for having the courage to continue doing what you do. You have my utmost respect and admiration.

I had the priviledge of being on several scenes with Julie. No matter what was going on, I had no doubt in my mind that she had our "backs". I will never forget how she came running up to me on one scene, laughing, because she wanted to tell me about something funny she had done and how she almost had to call me to come get her. Little did we know that one day I would be there taking care of her.


I cannot express in words how Julie's death has effected me. I feel truly blessed that God allowed me to know Julie, if only for a short time. I only wish I had gotten the chance to know her better. May God continue to be with her family. She is missed.

See ya "Sis"
