May you continue to keep watch over your family, friends and co-workers from above during this difficult time...and always. God bless you and your little boy.

I am so sorry that this has happened to your family. His son will know that his daddy is a hero and will always be remembered by everyone. My daughter was 3 months old when my husband was killed, so he will live on by me telling stories to her about her dad. And Tyron will live on just the same. There is a COPS retreat for his son to go to when he turns six and my daughter and I will be there, maybe one day they will meet. We will never fully understand Gods plan, but we have to trust that he knows what he is doing. I will always remember.

“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.

Rest In Peace PO Tyron Franklin. You served your community with Honor and Dignity. You left Paterson as a young kid only to return to your roots and make a difference as a Police Officer within Paterson and unfortunately you left the City of Paterson, the Paterson PD and your son also so young. May the Law Enforcement Community never forget you and your family (especially your young son). My deepenst sympathy and condolences to the men and women of the Paterson PD and your family.
May God watch over the Franklin family and the Paterson PD. And May PO Franklin watch over all of the L.E. Community on their beat. Rest in Peace Brother!

I never dreamed it would be me,
My name for all eternity,
Recorded here at this hallowed place
Alas, my name, no more my face.
"In the line of duty, " I hear them say:
My family now the price to pay.
My folded flag stained with their tears;
We only had those few short years.
The badge no longer on my chest,
I sleep now in eternal rest.
My sword I pass to those behind,
And pray they keep this thought in mind.
I never dreamed it would be me,
And with heavy heart and bended knee,
I ask for all here from the past:
Dear God, let my name be the last.
My deepest condolences to the Family, Friends and the Officers of the Patrson Police Department on the tragic lose of Officer Tyron Franklin. Officer Franklin's watch has ended but he is now with his new commander, Our Lord in Heaven. Bless you Tyron and may you rest in enernal peace forever! Blessed are the Peacemakers:For they shall be called "The Children oF GOD"
