The department announced that a memorial service for the late officer, who was fatally shot on September 6, will be conducted on Wednesday, September 18, as detailed by the City of Phoenix. Acknowledging the impact of his service, they shared a remembrance of Coolidge as an exceptional man dedicated to his family and his role in law enforcement.
