END UPDATE

We are saddened at the passing of Officer Manny Ortiz, a 22 year veteran of the Rochester Police Department, in a tragic accident on Saturday, November 2. Ortiz served in the Community Affairs Bureau as a crime prevention officer and was well known in the community.

Officer Ortiz leaves behind a fiancee and three children. The military, the police department, the sheriff's office, or the fire department. These are all people defending us, protecting us, When something tragic happens to them - there are two things we need to do. We honor them, but also make sure that we're taking care of their families the way they took care of our families.

We welcome you to contribute to support his family financially in this time of need. 

Manuel "Manny" Ortiz (1967-2019, RPD 1997-2019)
