UCRPB to Offer Services
for Fallen Riverside Police Officer
The University of California, Riverside Pipe Band has been asked to appear at the funeral for one of Riverside's finest. On Thursday of last week, a police officer working a patrol in Riverside was ambushed along with his partner who was severely injured in the attack.
UCRPB is honored to perform at funeral services for the officer, yet to be publicly named for security reasons as the gunman is still at large. The memorial will be held on Wedneday February 13, 10:30 AM at the Grove Community Church in Riverside, site of Riverside Sheriff's Academy graduations that the Band appears in on a regular basis.
Taking part in this funeral will be a small way for Band members to give back to the heroes among us who daily put their lives at risk to keep the public safe.
The UCR Pipe Band extends condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of the officer lost in this senseless act of barbarism.
