Mourning police officers from New York and beyond will give a final salute Friday to Officer Jason Rivera, a rookie colleague gunned down with his partner a week ago in Harlem.
A morning funeral Mass is planned for around 9 a.m. at St. Patrick’s Cathedral for the officer, who, at age 22, was recently married and barely into his second year of service on the force.
Roman Catholic Cardinal Timothy Dolan will preside over the service. Many of the city’s top leaders are expected to attend.
Just a day earlier, thousands of uniformed officers, as well as ordinary citizens, filed into the Roman Catholic cathedral for Rivera’s public wake on Thursday.
