RED LION (AP) – Three detectives who lost their lives in the line of duty while attempting to arrest a stalking suspect were remembered at their funeral Thursday as exemplary officers and devoted family men. The service for Northern York County Regional Police Detectives Cody Becker, Mark Baker, and Isaiah Emenheiser was held more than a week after they were ambushed by a man who had been inside the home of a woman he was accused of stalking. Northern Regional Chief David Lash paid tribute to the officers. “They were gentle, they were kind. They confronted some of the most evil human behaviors imaginable. And not only did they face those challenges, they did so while holding fast to faith, compassion, and uncompromising honor.” Hundreds of police officers were on hand to mourn them at Living Word Community Church in Red Lion, York County after a motorcade brought their flag-draped caskets from a funeral home. Lash called the three “the best of us. Their sacrifice is a solemn reminder of the cost of service, but also the courage required to stand in the face of darkness.”
