T-shirt Sales Benefit Fallen Officers

April 9, 2018

The Jefferson Area Motor Squad (JAMS) is proud to host the 6th annual Jefferson Area Motor Squad Skills Training Seminar May 31-June 2, 2018, located at the Sam's Club of Charlottesville parking lot.  The Jefferson Area Motor Squad Skills Training Seminar is a way for motor officers to improve their riding skills, exchange new training ideas, and improve or create inter-agency relationships.  It is also an opportunity to give back to the community.  A portion of the proceeds raised for the 2018 seminar will be donated to the Virginia State Police Foundation and earmarked for the families of Lt.  Jay Cullen and Trooper-Pilot Berke Bates.  We are also excited to offer this years official JAMS t-shirt for purchase to everyone nationwide.  Proceeds from t-shirt sales will also be donated to the Virginia State Police Foundation. 

Lt.  Cullen and Trooper Bates were tragically killed in the line of duty, while providing air support, when their aircraft went down during the August 12th, 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.  Please help support their families by purchasing a shirt.  Thank you! 

I want to thank you and the other individuals who organized [the Appreciation Dinner].  Often, the men and women who serve this community fail to receive the recognition and praise they so well deserve.  They are local heroes and should be reminded that their service to this community is appreciated by the individuals they protect and serve.
