Officer Derbin, I am so very sorry that this happened to you. You were only 23 years old. You had the right to live to old age, but unfortunately, someone took that right away from you. This is very upsetting. Rest In Peace young man. You were very brave. Thank you for your service.

Dear Chief of Police Scott Meyer:

I hope this letter finds you well, though I understand it is an incredibly tough time for you and everyone connected to your department. I am writing to extend my heartfelt sympathy and deepest condolences for the loss of Police Officer Jacob Derbin, a brave and dedicated professional.

The news of Officer Derbin’s death has deeply saddened me and my entire family. The sacrifice that he made while protecting and serving your community is a testament to the selfless and courageous nature of law enforcement officers like him. We can never truly understand the risks and challenges faced by those in law enforcement, and we are forever indebted to them for their unwavering commitment to keeping us safe.

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with Officer Derbin’s family and colleagues during this immensely challenging time. Their loss is immeasurable, and we can only hope that the outpouring of support from the community can offer some comfort in these trying times.

In times like these, we must remember the positive impact Officer Derbin had on countless lives throughout his life and career. The memories of his dedication, kindness, and professionalism will remain etched in the hearts of those who had the privilege to know him.

To you, Chief Meyer and the entire Euclid Police Department, my family and I want to express our gratitude for the vital work you do each day, often in the face of danger and adversity. The sacrifice of your fallen colleague serves as a stark reminder of the dangers that come with your line of duty. Despite the risks, you continue to serve with integrity and unwavering commitment, and for that, we are immensely thankful.

Having served 44+ years as a Law Enforcement Professional, my family stands with you during this time of mourning. Please do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything we can do to support you and your department during this difficult period.

May the memories of Officer Derbin be a source of strength and may his legacy inspire others to follow in his footsteps of honor and service. We will forever be indebted to the sacrifice he made to keep us safe.

So sad to hear the news.

The nightmare of waking up to an officer down whether from your agency, a neighboring agency, or across the country is heart breaking.

We came into our shift with one goal in mind. To track down your killer. We responded with overwhelming force and numbers on any possible sighting calls we got.

The sun shined a little brighter when we heard suspect is down.

You, and your family is in everyone of our thoughts and prayers. This isn’t about the suspect this is about the celebration of life and joy that Jacob brought everyone that was around him.

I know that your mother, father, fiancé and everyone close feels the support from all over the country.

Thank you for your service to this country, and the community. Hopefully someday the respect to all law enforcement is back. So a family of a hardworking, dedicated, military man, and police officer won’t ever feel this heart break again.

Rest in peace Brother..
