(New York): Law enforcement from the city, state and across the globe stood shoulder to shoulder, giving a final salute to the 12-year veteran NYPD Officer Miosotis Familia outside the World Changers Church on the Grand Concourse.

Her 20-year-old daughter, Genesis, and 12-year-old twins, Peter and Delilah, were all dressed in white as they were presented with the American flag. They understood why she took on such a dangerous job.

NYPD Officer Miosotis Familia Remembered As a Hero
