Virginia Beach Police Officers Cameron Girvin and Christopher Reese dedicated their lives to upholding the safety and well-being of others.
Officer Cameron Girvin graduated from VBPD’s 68th Police Academy and was sworn in as a certified officer on June 19, 2020. He was 25 years old.
Officer Christopher Reese was a member of the 72nd Police Academy and was sworn in as a certified officer on July 29, 2022. He was 30 years old.
These officers were not just members of the VBPD; they were family, friends, and heroes.
Their sacrifice is a painful reminder of the daily dangers our officers face and their unwavering commitment to serve with honor and integrity.
The Patriot Guard Riders will stand in silent honor for Cameron and Christopher, their families, Fellow Officers and the community they served. We will not forget their service and sacrifice.
We ask the community to keep these officers, their families, friends, and fellow officers in your thoughts and prayers.
