He was also a graduate of the drug course that took place in Jerusalem, Israel and the FBI since 1974. Those who knew him (ie, most residents of Pardes Hannah) called him “Sergeant Cohen,” even when he was an officer. He was a policeman in all his limbs, from head to toe: his clothes were neatly ironed, the collars of his shirts starched and straight, his black shoes gleaming and his insignia glittering and shining, his hair cut straight and his mustache neatly combed, always in time, He came to his office before chemotherapy, went to the hospital, went home on a bus, went to the hospital, And came back to work the next day, and everyone was sure that everything would pass, that nothing would happen On July 26, 1978, Shalom, aged fifty-four, died in the cemetery in Pardes Hannah, leaving a wife, six children and five grandchildren .
