The Santa Cruz Police Department is announcing Memorial Service arrangements to honor our fallen heroes
Sergeant Loran “Butch” Baker Officer Elizabeth Butler
UPDATE: CHANGE IN VENUE AND TIME FOR MEMORIAL
There is a change in venue for the Memorial Service honoring our fallen officers Sergeant Loran “Butch” Baker and Officer Elizabeth Butler.
The Memorial Service has been MOVED to the HP Pavilion at San Jose at 12:00 noon on Thursday, March 7, 2013.
The address of the HP Pavilion is: 525 W Santa Clara Street, San Jose, CA
Driving directions are available at: http://www.hppavilion.com/directions/directions.asp
The change in venue is necessary to accommodate the overwhelming support and show of love extending from our community to around the nation. Local options simply did not have enough room to hold all the love and support for these officers and would have forced the venues to be split in up to 4 different locations. We want to afford everyone the opportunity to honor these heroes and remember them together.
We realize this may create an inconvenience for some local residents; however, we and the families believe this change provides the best opportunity to properly honor our officers and their families. Our local venues have been incredibly generous in offering services and location. If local live video streaming becomes available, we will update that information.
We are planning a motorcade procession of Santa Cruz County Law Enforcement, Fire and Emergency Responders from Santa Cruz to the Memorial location. Further updates and information will follow.
There will be a private reception back in Santa Cruz following the Memorial Service.
