Local police officers joined Oregon public safety officials Thursday in the celebration of life for Oregon City, Ore., reserve police officer Robert Libke in Portland.
A motorcade procession including family and emergency response vehicles began at 10:45 a.m. in Oregon City and traveled to the memorial service, which began at 1 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, 300 N. Winning Way in Portland.
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office Honor Guard, which includes six members, was in attendance, according to Sgt. Duncan Hoss. Overtime cost for the event was expected to amount to $1,610.
Four members of the Vancouver Police Department Honor Guard were also attending the celebration, spokeswoman Kim Kapp said. The four people are the only personnel authorized for overtime to attend, but Kapp said she would not know how much overtime they would accrue because some of the members could arrange their schedules so that the shift did not go into overtime.
