Police say expect road closures while loved ones and colleagues make their way along Shaw to Villa and head north to the Clovis Cemetery where Officer Law will be laid to rest.

From there, police say expect delays to begin around 12:30 as the procession will head along freeways 168 to 180 and then along southbound 41 to southbound 99 down to Officer Gonzalez's final resting place in Tulare.

Officers are advising drivers to expect 30 minute delays along those Valley freeways between 2 and 6pm while the procession carries on.

In addition to loved ones and fellow law enforcement Governor Jerry Brown and Attorney General Kamala Harris will both attend the services.
