Loved ones will gather later this week in Ottawa to bid a final farewell to slain police Const. Eric Czapnik.
Fellow police officers from across Canada are expected to attend Thursday's funeral service at the Ottawa Civic Centre.
The fifty-one-year-old constable was ambushed Tuesday while sitting in his cruiser outside an Ottawa hospital.
A 43-year-old suspended Mountie, Kevin Gregson, has been charged with first-degree murder in Czapnik's death.
Czapnik, married with four children, joined the police force in his late 40s after a career in retail.
A Polish immigrant, he moved to Canada in 1990 and eventually followed in the footsteps of his father, who was an officer in Poland for 30 years
