Message from Chief Dane Leblanc to All of WSU Campus:
Many members of our campus community have contacted the WSU Police Department expressing concern and support for the Ogden Police Department and Weber-Morgan Strike Force following the tragic events of last Wednesday night, which left five law enforcement officers injured and one killed.
Many of these officers are our friends and colleagues. Thank you for your kind words and condolences.
WSU has offered the use of the Dee Events Center on Jan. 11 to host a viewing and funeral service for Jared Francom, the agent who lost his life in the line of duty.
For those who are interested, public viewings will be held from 5-8 p.m. at Myers Mortuary (845 Washington Blvd., in Ogden) on Jan. 10, and again from 9-10:30 a.m. at the Dee Events Center on Jan. 11. Funeral services will begin at 11 a.m. at the DEC.
All are welcome to attend.
To better accommodate the expected turnout for the ceremony, we are asking that students and staff who regularly use the Dee Event Center lot please park in the south end of the lot, near the shuttle bus stops on Wednesday, Jan. 11.
Parking Services will have sections of the lot cordoned off for law enforcement, media and the public attending the funeral. I ask for your patience and understanding for any inconvenience this may cause.
Thank you.

Subject: Police Officer's Funeral/Traffic on Harrison Blvd
Honors Students and Faculty:
Just a word of advice for tomorrow's WSU activities regarding the Ogden Police officer's funeral. The funeral will be at 11:00 at the DEC. The traffic will be heavy around WSU. I saw an electronic sign coming into work today saying that Harrison will be CLOSED from 12:00-3:00 tomorrow for the funeral processional heading north to the Ogden Cemetery. Be prepared for traffic problems tomorrow. Alert your students if you have classes from 10:00-2:00 that there will difficulties getting around WSU tomorrow. I also heard that Harrison will be lined with American flags for the processional.
