Memorial service announced for fallen DeKalb County police officer

ATLANTA — A public memorial service has been scheduled for DeKalb County Police Officer David Rose, who was killed in the line of duty during the shooting attack at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The service will take place at 11 a.m. Friday at First Baptist Church of Atlanta on North Peachtree Road.

DeKalb CEO Lorraine Cochran-Johnson said the community is invited to attend to honor Officer Rose’s life and legacy. For those unable to be there in person, the service will also be livestreamed.

Hundreds took part in the Atlanta Track Club’s annual “Atlanta’s Finest 5K” this weekend, raising more than $40,000 for the Rose family.

A makeshift memorial continues to grow for Rose outside the CDC Center in Atlanta.
