The Pierce County Sheriff's Department says about 1,500 law enforcement personnel and 650 patrol vehicles participated in a procession.

McCartney, a 34-year-old Navy veteran and married father to three young boys, was shot during a foot chase earlier this month as he responded to a home invasion near the small community of Frederickson, 15 miles southeast of Tacoma.

McCartney died early Jan. 8 at a Tacoma hospital. He had been a Pierce County Deputy for three years.

Two people have been charged with murder in connection with his death.
