Retired Las Vegas Metropolitan Lt. Randy Sutton joined Justin Hinton and Anjali Patel in the studio during the procession, sharing his thoughts on what it means to be a law enforcement officer today.

"This is demonstrative of the dangers that face every single police officer in the Vegas valley and around our nation. So the symbolism of what we’re seeing today…This is really important for the continuity of what this career field means. It isn’t just a job. There’s a calling here, and the men and women who take up that mantle, they’re special people, but every single one of them deals with the reality of 'There but for the grace of God go I.'"

The last time the North Las Vegas Police Department dealt with the loss of an officer was in Chad Parque in 2017.

HONORING THE FALLEN

The funeral services are being filled with fond memories of Officer Jason Roscow.

"Jason found his passion in the traffic division as a motor officer. We can certainly measure by the number of citations that he wrote, just telling the number of complaints we received from those he pulled over. I may or may not have had the pleasure of being advised by Officer Roscow on a traffic infraction. Those of you who know, know.

"He will receive the highest commendation for his sacrifice: the Medal of Honor. He receives this honor in recognition of his quick response, unwavering determination and courage to stay in the fight despite being gravely injured. He did all of this to protect innocent civilians, his fellow officers and the community he loved."
North Las Vegas Police Chief Jacqueline Gravatt
