"Jacob embodied the spirit of an officer and a soldier."
That is how Euclid City Council members are remembering fallen police officer Jacob Derbin, who was killed in the line of duty earlier this month at just 23 years old.
On Monday night, the Euclid City Council introduced and passed a ceremonial resolution honoring Derbin's life - just two days after he was laid to rest during an emotional funeral service.
The resolution to honor and recognize Derbin says the following: "Every day, police officers pin on their shields and walk out the door, rushing into harm’s way to keep the rest of us safe. Being a police officer is more than what they do, it is who they are. Jacob embodied the spirit of an officer and a soldier. The City of Euclid is grateful and holds dear the memory of Jacob."
