“It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Sergeant Jared Jensen. Sgt. Jensen served our department and community with unwavering dedication, integrity, and honor. His contributions and character left a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of working alongside him,” the police department shared.
Sgt. Jensen has been recognized or awarded seven times during his time as a police officer. He also survived a near-deadly shooting when an “assailant fired eight rounds” into his police car, according to the U.S. Marshals.
Starting in 2012, Sgt. Jensen worked with the Clinton City Police Department, the Sunset Police Department, a police academy instructor, and finally with the Kaysville Police Department and U.S. Marshals.
Sgt. Jensen earned a bachelor’s degree from Weber State University in criminal justice and is originally from Davis County. He is survived by his wife, Camille Jensen, and their two young children.
Sgt. Jensen was assigned as a member of the U.S. Marshal’s Service Violent Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team (VFAST). In September, his VFAST team visited him at a surgery rehabilitation center to offer their support.
“They’re some of the best guys to work with. And, seeing them here to support me, I really feel it, feel their support, feel their love,” Sgt. Jensen told ABC4 during the visit.
According to a press release from VFAST, Sgt. Jensen was diagnosed with stage four brain cancer, Glioblastoma, in September 2024. He visited the doctor in August after experiencing frequent headaches, and an MRI revealed a mass in his brain. Multiple tumors and lesions were located, and he was taken in for surgery at the end of August.
“We extend our deepest condolences to Sgt. Jensen’s family, friends, and fellow officers… Rest in peace, Sergeant. We will carry your memory with us always,” the Kaysville Police Department said in their post.
A GoFundMe set up for Sgt. Jensen’s medical journey is still accepting donations that support the family and help pay medical bills.
