Our condolences to the family of Detective Jared Halpern as well as our brothers and sisters at the Evesham Township Police Department.
We are heartbroken to share the passing of Detective Jared Halpern.
Jared passed away last night, surrounded by the love of his family, after courageously facing his second battle with an extremely rare germ cell cancer.
While so many came to know Jared for his incredible strength, resilience, and determination throughout his fight, those who had the privilege of serving alongside him knew that his greatest legacy extends far beyond his illness. Jared was an exceptional police officer who served the Evesham Township community with honor, integrity, and compassion. He was a trusted mentor, a loyal friend, and the kind of person who always put others before himself. His professionalism, unwavering commitment, and sense of humor left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.
Above all else, Jared was a devoted husband and father. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Jillian, and their two young children, who were the center of his world.
Our department, and our entire community are grieving an unimaginable loss. We ask that you please keep Jillian, their children, the Halpern family, Jared’s friends, and our entire Evesham Township Police family in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate the difficult days ahead and learn how to move forward without one of our own.
Jared’s courage, kindness, and selfless service will never be forgotten. His legacy will live on in the lives he touched, the officers he mentored, the community he protected, and the family he loved so deeply.
Rest easy, Detective Halpern. We have the watch from here.
