Jim Yocum was the BEST! Rest in peace dear friend! He loved his dear Freddi, and all his loving family. He was wonderful with computers and people and kids especially! We'll miss you old friend, but we know you're guarding Heaven's Gates now! We love you!

Captain Yocum was a cop's cop. I was lucky enough to join APD just before he retired. He gave an impressive and memorable class in our academy, explaining why he did not wear white uniform shirts while on duty. He was one of us, a blue collar cop. He retired, way too early, before I had enough seniority to bid to his shift, but I was fortunate to work for him at the bank. A good man who will truly be missed. Prayers to his family.

Yocum Family,
Cap was one of the Greatest. He was one of the Old Guard that made APD what it was. There wasn't one job he couldn't handle and he handled all of them with professionalism whether he lead a Top Notch training bureau or Shift Captain and any other job he was assigned. So sad to lose a leader and good Man like him. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Rest in Peace Brother.
