Officer Reed provides final service as donor organs give life to others

(From the Joplin Police Department)

Friday evening Officer Jake Reed continued his service to others as his vital organs were escorted to the airport and flown across the country to give life to others. 

The department escorted Jake’s body to the funeral home past many citizens who exited their vehicles in the roadway and held hands over hearts or saluted us as we passed. 

May God and our community be with Officer Reed's family and the recipients of his gifts of life last night.

Officer Jake Reed, End Of Watch 3-11-2022
