Fifteen Buffalo police community service officers, a civilian, a detective and I have felt the effects of the transfer of the officers from Police Community Service to the Patrol Division.

The job of community service officer is a civilian position created in 2014; the officers respond to and investigate lower-priority calls for service, according to the Police Department’s website.

Pham's name will be added to the memorial, alongside 13 sworn officers who were killed in the line of duty. It marks the first time a San Jose community service officer has received such an honor.
