With profound sadness, we announced the passing of our sister and dear friend, Officer Lauren Kresse. At 44 years young for valiant fight against cancer ended on Thursday, January 18th surrounded by her family. Lauren was a 20-year veteran of the Boca Raton Police Department. She was a beloved instructor in the Boca Raton Police Training Unit, making sure all of our officers had the training and equipment necessary to do their job safely. Lauren was also a long serving member of the Boca Raton police honor guard.

Lauren’s bright and bold, personality positively influenced everyone she interacted with. She was fiercely loyal to the people and things she loved, and her unwavering passion, for law enforcement was evident throughout her career.

We will miss Lauren every day but find comfort, knowing we have a warrior guardian angel, looking out for us.
