The McMaster community is sending its support to alumnus and Belleville Police Service Constable Jeff Smith, who was seriously wounded in the line of duty during the shooting outside the Sons of Jacob Synagogue in Belleville on September 20.

Jeff’s courageous and selfless actions that evening, placing himself directly in harm’s way, are credited with saving numerous lives and protecting members of the congregation gathered inside for Yom Kippur services.

Before his career in public service, Jeff was a captain of the McMaster Marauders football program, playing defensive end and helping McMaster capture back-to-back Yates Cup championships in 2000 and 2001.

Today, the entire McMaster community stands behind one of our own. We send our heartfelt wishes to Jeff for strength and a full recovery, and our support to his wife, Ashley, their family, his colleagues, friends and teammates, as well as the congregation of the Sons of Jacob Synagogue and the broader Jewish community affected by this act of violence.
