After the funeral, motorcycle mounted officers escorted a black hearse carrying Leath&#8217;s casket on a procession that went past police headquarters and the department&#8217;s East District headquarters, where it stopped in front of Leath&#8217;s squad car as new police recruits saluted and commemorated the place Leath served her final watch call.<br />
Officer Breann &#8216;Bre&#8217; Leath, 24, was fatally shot when responding to a domestic violence call at a home on April 9. <span class="mol-style-bold"><br />
