North Las Vegas Police Sgt. Daryl Reitz met Jason Roscow in 2007 when they entered the police academy. They spent 20 weeks together in the academy, launching a friendship that continued when they joined the department.

The length of the procession spoke to the depth of the community’s grief over the loss of a lifelong public servant.

Family, friends, fellow police officers, and the public bid farewell to Officer Jason Roscow Thursday during a procession and funeral for the North Las Vegas officer who was killed in the line of duty.
