A police motorcade carrying the body of Corporal Ronil “Ron” Singh pulled into the Lakewood Memorial Park—the officer’s final resting place—on Jan. 5.

Raindrops hung like tears from the thin-blue-line decorations outside the cemetery, while officers decked out dress uniforms and white gloves saluted their fallen colleague.
