Abbotsford Police Department have released information on Cst. John Davidson’s Celebration of Life. Davidson was killed in the line of duty on Nov. 6. The 53-year-old had been a police officer for 24 years in Canada and the U.K.
An online fundraiser set up for his family has already raised more than $150,000 and a petition looking to rename Automall Drive in Davidson’s honour needs another thousand signatures to reach its goal.
Below is taken from the APD News Release:
