DAVIS, California—Police officers from across the country are expected at the Jan. 18 memorial service for a 22-year-old rookie who had long dreamed of being an officer and was slain just weeks into the job in a Northern California college town.

The service for Davis Police Officer Natalie Corona, who was shot and killed last week, will be held at the University of California-Davis. UC Davis said it expects up to 6,000 officers, in addition to family members, friends, and members of the public.
