Virginia Beach, Washington – after the tragic firing and the death of Virginia Beach police officers Cameron Girwin and Christopher Reese, Virginia Beach police rely on Wellness programs and the Hampton Rhodes Community for support.
The community has created several fundraising rates through various organizations and businesses in Virginia Beach to help the affected families.

During those like those, Brian Luciano, also known as “Lucky”, from the Virginia Beach Police Association, took the time to reiterate that there was never such a thing as a routine stop of movement.
Lucky explained: “There is nothing crazy to drive himself or other employees than to hear the phrase” routine stopping of traffic. “
This is because, he said, when an officer is called to stop or call the stage, they usually come in with little or no information.
Late on Friday night, police claims that the employees of Girvan and Reese are trying to stop traffic on a vehicle, which the suspect has been driving due to deadline registration plates. At that time, the police claimed that he “immediately” became “argumentative” and refused to exit the vehicle. When the suspect finally got out of the car, the police claimed to have shot officers Girvan and Reese twice each before “quietly moving away”.
“I’m sure the last thing these officers expected when they were pulling over a vehicle that had just leaked labels was that they would lose their lives for the sake of it,” Lucky said.
However, on Monday night, after the tragic event, the Virginia Beach community continued to unite together to honor the fallen officers.
“It’s really good to see the community get together,” Lucky explained. “Our phones are calling all the time for” what can we do “and” Where can we give. “
Since the night of the tragic incident, the people in the community of Virginia Beach have continued to stop until the fourth section to show their respect by releasing flowers and balloons of the memorial in front of the building. As the memorial was created on Saturday, it has already doubled in size.

Lucky explained how wellness resources would continue to be available to employees affected by sudden losses. He said the police department, the community and the city should continue to support each other, especially following the funerals of the two officers.
“It really means” never forget “, it doesn’t mean within a week from now or two weeks from now. This means that we will never forget to move forward, “Lucky said.
