Officer Franklin you are a true hero. Thank you for your service. To the Franklin family, my condolences to you and although the pain is virtually unbearable, some day you may find comfort in those who have been there as well. I have been there, lost a co-worker, a close friend. I'm sure he was a great man and I know he is a hero.

I did not know Officer Franklin but my heart goes out to his family and friends. I know how it is losing someone very dear because I had lost a great friend in 2006. Officer Franklin will be missed by many.

Officer Tyron Franklin you are a true hero. Very few pin a badge and a gun and go out there and risk their lives on a daily basis. I'm truly sorry to hear of a loss of a true crimefighter. Even though your tour was short and shortened by a ruthless thug.
I wish the best for your son and family. I will pray for your son. I have four children and I know that feeling everyday I drive off to work, will they see me again???
God bless the fine men and woman at the Paterson Police Department!!!

My sincerest condolences to P/O Franklin's family, friends and fellow officers. It is very sad that this young officer and father of a young child was taken from us with his whole life and that of his child ahead of him by a COWARD PUNK that punished P/O Franklin with 6 fatal gunshots because he chose to protect and serve his community rather than take a path that is so easy and tempting to take...the path that the thug that took his life decided to take. I can only assume this, but given his 8 months of service, it seems likely that he marched with his academy class in the funeral processions for our recent fallen JCPD and/or EOPD brother officers as an academy recruit...I can only imagine what it must feel like for the members of that academy class. May P/O Franklin now rest in peace and join his brethren on patrol in the streets of Heaven.

God bless you, Officer Franklin. My heart breaks every time I see an officer down. I hope they catch the one that did this. I hope your family and friends can find some peace and comfort knowing others in the nation care. Thank you for your service.
