EDMONTON—Thousands of somber Edmonton Police Service (EPS) officers in blue dress uniforms marched in rows of eight along the downtown streets of Edmonton today, accompanying the bodies of Constables Travis Jordan and Brett Ryan, who were killed in the line of duty earlier this month.
The two-and-a-half kilometre procession was part of the regimental funeral being held on March 27 for the two officers. It began at the Alberta legislature grounds just before noon and made its way to Rogers Place, with an estimated 45 fire, police, emergency services, and military communities from across the country taking part, with thousands of participants marching in tight unison.
