As a means of honoring a recently fallen police officer, these 35 cops and state troopers got together to finish construction of a very special project.

Retired and active officers from the New York State Police, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, and the Watertown City Police all got together to finish building the treehouse that Officer Joel Davis had been building for his teenage daughter Jaila.

In less than a day, the officers put the finishing touches on Jaila’s fort, completing features like a ladder, windows, a string of lights, and a balcony.


The 36-year-old father and state trooper had been shot in early July when he responded to a domestic violence call in Jefferson County.

Thanks to his fellow boys in blue, however, his daughter will always have the memory of undying friendship and love to warm her life in the coming years.

That's a sweet tree house, sad to hear a family losing their dad but good to know the family still has friends.

Exactly the same plan as the one my dad built us years ago.

Except the packed ground below mine was a sandbox and we had a zipline that ran over to the back door.

It's a house among the trees ?

Plus you can't safely build a structure that large in a tree.

Seriously. It's just a hose near a tree.

Also I can't imagine how much of a pain in the ass having 35 dudes on such a tiny project would be.

Having a crew of 8 on an actual 4 plex is too many some days.

Probably a lot of dudes cranking beers, and maybe holding a hammer. I thought that many doing that was weird, too.

"A tree house, tree fort or treeshed is a platform or building constructed around, next to or among the trunk or branches of one or more mature trees while above ground level."

Cool story. I imagine not all 35 were there hammering nails though. There was funds, picking up material, etc. Nice gesture to the family.

It has a tree going up through the center, but I'm with ya because that tree is clearly not supporting the structure. This is proof that cops really do lie tbh. (Sarcasm on the last bit for the less intelligent folks around here who would have an egg over that)

No offense dude, but you have no idea what you're talking about. You can easily build a structure like that in a tree. Just not that particular type of tree. An old oak tree for example is extremely dense and easily capable of supporting such a structure.

A bullshit tree house is a shed on stilts next to a tree or trees"

Fix'd

by the way I'm not trying to seriously belittle the cops or downplay how awesome of a thing they did for such a tragic event, just trying to bring a little fun and humor to a grim situation by arguing about tree houses. It looks like an awesome tree house and it's way nicer than the tree house I built for myself as a kid since my stepdad wanted nothing to do with me

I'm looking at a picture of the types of trees that they have in their backyard. They couldn't support jack shit.

When you discover how time travel works you can go back and plant an oak tree for them to use.

In the meantime they're working off the plans their father decided on.

Hold on...
The stilts and base don't quite look like treated lumber.

Not only is not a treehouse, but it's unlikely to be anything but a deathtrap within a couple years.
