Constable Shaelyn Yang will be honoured by police from across Canada
Richmond, B.C., will be filled with police officers from across Canada as they honour a fallen R.C.M.P. officer.
A funeral service for 31-year-old Constable Shaelyn Yang will be today, with as many as 2,000 officers joining other first responders.
The mental-health and homeless outreach officer was stabbed to death two weeks ago while she accompanied a city worker to a park in Burnaby to inform a man in a tent that he couldn't live there.
She was the fourth police officer killed on the job in Canada in recent weeks.
Two officers from Ontario's South Simcoe Police were fatally shot October 11th at a home in Innisfil, and a Toronto Police constable was shot dead in a coffee shop a month before that.
