To the wife, parents, brothers, sister, grandparents, extended family, fellow troopers and friends of this fine young trooper, I offer my most sincere condolences.

There are no words to comfort you...you all have suffered a terrible loss...just know that other ODMP survivor families will be praying for you and asking God to give you the graces needed to cope with such an untimely and shocking tragedy.

To Trooper Jenks parents...I know your loss and it is the most difficult one to accept...I will pray for you.

May God's perpetual light shine upon Trooper Calvin W. Jenks and may he rest in His eternal peace, for he has made the ultimate sacrifice in protecting and serving his community.

May God watch over this family and bless them as they mourn and grieve.

With my deepest sympathy,

My husband told me about this web site and I showed interest, but i never really wanted to actually get on it. I was scared of reality. I live me life normally everyday like most people and probably just like, Mr. and Mrs. Jenks did. I couldn't imagine the feeling of my husband going to work and never coming home. I am recently married just as Calvin was, and his death was a hard dose of reality. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. What a great sacrifice you and your loved ones have laid down. May you rest in peace.

Tropper Jenks,

You will never be forgotten, thank you for everything you accomplished.


"I will be the answer at the end of the line
I will be there for you while you take the time
In the burning of uncertainty I will be your solid ground
I will hold the balance if you can't look down

If it takes my whole life I wont break I wont bend
Itll all be worth it worth it in the end
'Cause I can only tell you what I know
that I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out
youll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently into morning
For the night has been unkind
Take me to a place so holy
That I can wash this from my mind
The memory of choosing not to fight

If it takes a whole life I wont break I wont bend
Itll all be worth it worth it in the end
'Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
And when the stars have all burned out
Youll still be burning so bright
Cast me gently into morning for the night has been unkind"

To the Family of Trooper Jenks,
God Bless you an keep you during this time of great sadness. Our family mourns with you. Heroes Live Forever. You will remain in our thoughts always.

"THE CALL"
by donna sacco

"THE CALL" came in and the Officer was sent
Just another day at work, so lights and sirens he went
The Officer arrived at the scene in a hurry
He exited his squad car without having a worry

It happened so fast when he arrived on "THE CALL"
The Officer didn't know that today he'd be giving his all
The perp drew his gun and he fired a round
The hero in blue was shot and he fell to the ground

His brothers in blue arrived to see the melee unravel
They rose up their weapons at the suspect as he started to travel
The Officers returned fire with a vengeance like no other
This monster just shot a Husband, a Son, a Nephew, and their Brother

The telephone rang and my husband answered "THE CALL"
As my family sat at the table, he rested his head against the wall
The look on his face was unfamiliar, filled with sadness and dread
Tears poured from my eyes because I knew an Officer was dead

We all feel the anger and fear, and our hearts are so sad
As wives of Cops it is hard not to get mad
We mourn for our partners and those who did fall
Just one single moment can change the lives of us all

Because we are bound as families of our men in blue
The death of a Cop hurts even when yours is safe next to you
For no matter where or when an Officer gives his all
It is the love of our men that unites us, and the fear of "THE CALL"
