Officer Chris Yung, Rest in Peace.
Thank you for your service to Prince William County.

End of watch means the officer died while on duty.  It’s referred to as a Line of Duty Death.

Police Week is held annually in May to honor those killed in the line of
duty during the past year.  Officer Yung will be added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial this May.
