The Fargo Police Department has established "The Leadership Care Fund" to support Officer Jake Wallin's family and the other officers impacted by the critical incident earlier this month.

We also want to express our sincere gratitude to all the men and women who serve as law enforcement officers and first responders, working tirelessly to keep our community safe. Their unwavering commitment and selfless acts deserve our utmost appreciation.

As a community, let us unite to honor Officer Jake Wallin's memory and support his friends, family and family in blue.
