Bio: Jacob was born to Aimee Jo Smith and Eric Richard Salrin in Springfield, Illinois. Jacob graduated from Washington Community High School in 2019.

He decided to pursue a career in law enforcement with the Richland County Sheriff's Department in March of 2022, earning his certification from the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy in January 2023.

Jacob's desire to help people led him to join this profession and follow his sister's footsteps. He loved being a deputy and working at the Richland County Sheriff's Department; making the ultimate sacrifice doing what he loved. While his time as a deputy was not very long, he made a tremendous impact on every life that he touched. He was a rising star at Richland County, never settling for just average but always seeking to excel in all he did, which was evident in his dedication to earn the Clifford A. Moyer Award at the criminal justice academy. Days before the accident he was selected as the Deputy of the Quarter for his region, which he will receive posthumously later this month.
