Richland County Sheriff’s Department unveils sign in honor of fallen Deputy Jake Salrin

“I hope that Jake is remembered as being funny, as being hardworking, and being somebody that cared more than anybody I’ve ever met or have ever known since. He cared a lot about his job, about people, his family, about his friends, about his squad, everyone that’s behind you, he cared immensely, so that’s what I hope people remember about Jake,” says Salrin-Zammuto. 

Annual ceremony honors fallen officers of Lexington County

“Anytime you put the badge on, you know when you leave the house, you may not come home. And it’s something we’ve all lived with and accepted and run towards danger when citizens run away from it, so it’s our calling and it’s what we do, but we do know and understand that one day our number may be called and we may be called to lay down our life in the line of duty,” says Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon.
