This lawsuit is about accountability, transparency, and ensuring that all of the facts are fully examined through the legal process. The complaint includes allegations and information that have not previously been presented publicly in this way. I encourage everyone to read the complaint.

Two very special evenings filled with emotion, remembrance, and hope for the future 💙🖤

On May 8, 2026, the Cuyahoga Valley Career Center Officer Jacob Derbin Foundation Scholarship Award was proudly presented to recipient Caroline Kimmel.

On May 19, 2026, the Cuyahoga Heights High School Officer Jacob Derbin scholarship was presented to recipient Samantha Vallee.

This scholarship was created in memory of Officer Jacob Derbin, a young man whose life was built on service, compassion, integrity, and kindness. Before he was Officer Derbin, badge #14, he was my son… a brother, a friend, a National Guard soldier, and someone who truly believed in helping others and making the world better.

Watching these young women receive this award was both heartbreaking and beautiful. It is a reminder that Jacob’s light continues to live on through others. His legacy is still inspiring hope and purpose in the next generation.

Caroline and Samantha, you were chosen not only for your accomplishments, but for your character, determination, and the promise you carry within you. We hope you continue to lead with kindness, courage, and compassion in all that you do.

Jacob’s life mattered deeply. His legacy matters deeply. And because of young people like you, his memory will continue to inspire others for years to come.

Congratulations again to both of you. We are so proud of you 💙 Thank you also to everyone who has donated and continue to support Jacob’s Foundation. 5 scholarships have been given in the span of one year. Each at $1,400. God bless you all.
