Four Barnegat Township police officers joined members of law enforcement from all over the country in New York City recently for the funerals of two young detectives killed in the line of duty on Jan. 21.

Capt. Jason Carroll, Lt. Andrew Parsley, Patrolman Angel Roman and Patrolman Kenneth Calicchio of the Barnegat Township Police Department attended the funeral of Jason Rivera, 22, on Jan. 28. Twenty-seven-year-old Wilbert Mora’s funeral was held on Feb. 2. The two were fatally shot when responding to a domestic disturbance in Harlem.

The funeral was held in St. Patrick’s Cathedral, but the officers who gathered covered an area of 10 blocks.
