Coachella Valley police officers attend Dallas funeral services

CBS Local 2’s Kris Long is attending the funeral services for the slain Dallas police officers who were killed last week during an ambush at a protest.

Two officers with the Palm Springs Police Department are taking the trip to Dallas with our news crew.

KESQ and CBS Local 2’s Laura Yanez spoke to the officers Tuesday afternoon as they prepared for their flight.

We’ve also confirmed that the Cathedral City Police Department will be sending at least one of its officers to Dallas and the Indio Police Department is working on sending at least a couple of its officers as well.

Officials said the Combined Police Officer’s unions worked to make the travel plans.

We’ll have full coverage of the funeral services on air and online throughout Wednesday.
