CONTINUING THE LEGACY Shawn said he respects the work Kenny does every day and understands the demands leadership roles can have on a person . He said as leaders , he and Kenny have to take care of their officers and firefighters .
“ He ’ s the policeman ’ s policeman and I feel like I ’ m the fireman ’ s fireman ,” Shawn said . “ I really feel like we were bred to do what we do .”
Both men have children who are interested in careers in public safety , or are actively doing the work . Kenny said his son , Jaylan , is on JPD as well . He said he ’ s proud of his son .
“ Someone said to [ my wife , Lanae ] ‘ so your son ’ s a police officer and your husband ’ s a police officer ?’ And she said ‘ Yes , and I ’ m going to go gray a lot quicker ,” Kenny said .
Shawn ’ s daughter , Mackenzie , 14 , wants to be a nurse , and his son , Shawn Jr ., wants to be a state trooper . He said he ’ s proud to see their interest in that kind of work , and he loves the idea that they ’ ll feel the same pride he does .
“ Every day , we go someplace that we help people ,” Shawn said . “ We mitigate problems . I tell you , after you do so , there ’ s no better feeling than when you come back to this station to know ‘ I made a difference , I helped someone and made their day better .’”
