The funeral will be a private event, but it will be available to stream live on the department’s YouTube page. The family has requested that members of the public line the sidewalks during the procession to pay their respects.
The procession, which will begin at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, will include motor officers, family, friends, and Officer Coolidge’s Squad from Mountain View Precinct. It will start at 60th Street and Bell Road and end at Dream City Church at 13613 North Cave Creek Road where the services will be held.
