It’s an event no police family wants to be part of, but one that they’re willing to attend to honor the many officers who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Rivera spent four years with CPD before her partner accidentally shot her back in June while they were chasing a suspect in the Gresham neighborhood, police department officials said.

CPD Superintendent Larry Snelling and others helped to forever enshrine her name on the Gold Star Families Memorial wall.
