It is so impressive to see not only the respect they are giving Matt but the respect to Matt’s family, his extended family at the Falls County Sheriff's Office, and Matt’s friends. The professionalism shown by the Troopers is incredible. What an honor to know they stand watch over our Falls County Sheriff's Office fallen brother Matt Jones."
