In an emotional tribute, the chief of the Davis (CA) Police Department called the young officer who was ambushed and killed earlier this month a "perfect cop."
Thousands of people gathered in the athletic arena on the campus of UC Davis on Friday to remember the service of 22-year-old Officer Natalie Corona.
Chief Darren Pytel said that police work was "truly in her blood," adding that he had placed a bet that one day she'd be the police chief.
