As I read through the reflections of family, friends and other officers I know for a certainty that what police officers do is a noble and worthy cause. My words simply cannot express the heartache I feel at the loss of any officer. God Bless you Jared and to your family, my deepest sympathy.

May God watch over, comfort, and bless your family. I pray for the recovery of the other five officers that were shot and for their famalies as well. Every raid has an eliment of risk and unfortunately this one had a fatal outcome. If not for the courage of officers like Agent Framcom this world would have no one to protect the innocent from the evil. I am grateful for the service and didication of this young man and on behalf of the Norfolk Sheriff's Office we mourn the tragic loss of another hero.

He put on the blue late one cold winter night,
His badge upon his chest polished so bright,
Though his badge was old it shined like new,
For it was much loved by this man in blue.
His badge was his promise to all who came his way,
“I’m here to serve you,” it seemed to say,
A silver badge with edges straight and true,
Just like the heart of this man in blue.
He didn’t see the gun that took his life,
He slipped away crying out for his wife,
His broken badge clung bravely to his chest,
A shattered witness to his last breath.
His badge once shiny, bright, and new,
Now lies broken, bent, and blue,
A silver badge, now broken in two,
Just like the hearts, of his brothers in blue.
