Police officers from around the country began gathering in downtown late Friday morning to honor a Fulton County police detective shot and killed last week.
Drivers should expect delays as the procession makes its way across the city from Turner Field to World Changers Church International for the 1 p.m. funeral.
Terence Avery Green, 48, was on duty March 4 when he was killed in what a Fulton police assistant chief called an ambush-style attack.
Amanuel Menghesha, the 42-year-old Fairburn man accused of shooting and killing Green, was booked March 5 into the Fulton County jail on murder and aggravated assault charges.
Officers from other agencies were asked to gather at Turner Field at 10 a.m. Friday for an 11 a.m. processional to World Changers Church International on Burdett Road in College Park.
Burial will follow at Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens in College Park.
