Starbucks Dedicates 10th And Broadway Store To EPD Officer Dan Rocha

The Everett Police Department posted the following on their social media feed today and we wanted to pass it along here for those who may not follow on that platform.

On the afternoon of March 25th of this year, Officer Dan Rocha went to his local Starbucks at 1010 North Broadway Ave. This was his Starbucks; he knew the partners beyond just their names, knowing their lives, sharing in their successes, and was part of their Starbucks family. In return, they knew Dan’s go-to order, his smile, and how he was always his authentic self.

Shortly after getting his coffee that day, he was tragically killed in the parking lot while investigating a suspicious circumstance. Today, on National Peace Officer Memorial Day, the partners at Dan’s favorite Starbucks shut down the store to take time to honor him as an Officer and a key part of the community.

They welcomed members from the Everett Police Department and Dan’s family to dedicate the store to his memory.

Thank you Starbucks, the partners, and managers for the heartfelt dedication and your support in honoring Officer Dan Rocha.
