The name of fallen La Mesa Police Officer Lauren Craven will be added to a memorial in front of the department’s station today, and the public is being invited to attend.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, Craven was honored at the San Diego County Law Enforcement Memorial.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll never forget her,\u201d La Mesa police Lt. Travis Higgins said. \u201cHer light will always shine in our hearts and within everything that we do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Craven became the 92nd officer listed, and the first from the La Mesa Police Department, whose name was added to the memorial wall. <\/p>\n
She was 25, and had been on the job fewer than two years when she died while trying to help a crash victims on Interstate 8 last October.<\/p>\n
Today’s ceremony begins at 4. Craven’s name will also be read aloud during a ceremony at the National Peace Officers Memorial in Washington next week. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The name of fallen La Mesa Police Officer Lauren Craven will be added to a memorial in front…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":304315,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[66938,13738,13859,23,100,74,76,75],"class_list":["post-304314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-kogo-news","tag-la-mesa-police","tag-lauren-craven","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=304314"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304314\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/304315"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=304314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=304314"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=304314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
