The Family in Blue: Honoring Officer Jason Moszer

Thousands of officers are in Fargo to honor Officer Moszer.
 
Law enforcement gathered early this morning before leaving for the memorial service.
 
Scheel’s Arena is where the funeral for Officer Moszer was held today.

Before the service, hundreds of law enforcement met at the Fargodome before leaving in a procession to the ceremony at 8:30 this morning.
 
All for one reason, to give Officer Jason Moszer a proper send off.
 
“It makes you very proud to be a part of law enforcement. I mean for me, that’s what that means, that there are a lot of people who are supportive us when we need support,” says Detective Mario Mora of Goshen Police Department.
 
Mora spent nearly 12 hours on the road and drove almost 800 miles from Goshen, Indiana.

He and three other officers made the journey from Elkhart County.
 
Mora adds, “The law enforcement community is very supportive of each other and they come from everywhere. I’ve seen New York. We were talking to some guys about people from Texas. Everywhere.”
 
Officers drove thousands of miles, proving that there is no distance for when it comes to the brotherhood and sisterhood of law enforcement.
 
“We all do the same job. We’re all here to protect and serve regardless of borders, regardless of service, regardless of any of those things; it’s about being there for each other,” says Corporal Laura Ledrew of Winnipeg Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
 
A group from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police out of Winnipeg trekked over the border to remember Officer Moszer’s service to the law.

From different corners of the nation, to the valley, local officers are still feeling the strength to continue serving the public.
 
“It’s through community support and the support of our fellow law enforcement officers that allows you to be able to do this job and have the pride that you do. And that you’re doing the right things for the right reasons. It’s just something that’s very touching,” says Lieutenant Tory Jacobson of Moorhead Police.
 
Jacobson says that this tragedy has only made local law enforcement stronger.
 
Jacobson explains, “The visuals. The emotions you see and feel from events like this are something that gives you that deeper drive. You know that when you’re responding to that next emergency call that the community does have your back.”
 
It is reported that at least 2,800 officers attended.

Local agencies are stepping up to monitor the Fargo area while the Fargo Police Departments takes time to grieve.
