THE DAYTONA BEACH POLICE
DEPARTMENT YESTERDAY. FAMILY,
FRIENDS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
FROM AROUND THE STATE HAVE
GATHERED THERE TO PRIVATELY

>> THAT’S RIGHT, GUYS. SO WHAT
WE’RE SEEING NOW IS WHAT WE’RE
USED TO SEEING HERE. THIS IS
THE TIME WHERE LAW
ENFORCEMENT. PAYS TRIBUTE TO A
FALLEN OFFICER THE WAY THAT A
HERO DESERVE. SO YOU’RE GOING
TO SEE A MULTIPLE OF DIFFERENT
UNIFORMS ARE GOING TO SEE THE
FLAG. YOU’RE GOING TO SEE WHAT
TRADITION IN HONOR IS ABOUT AT
THIS POINT. SO. BECAUSE OF THE
FAMILY’S PRIVACY. OBVIOUSLY WE
DID NOT SEE WHAT TOOK PLACE
INSIDE. BUT WE UNDERSTAND WHAT
HAPPENED INSIDE. THERE ARE A
LOT OF GOOD MEMORIES, A LOT OF
WISHES, A LOT OF PRAYER FOR
THE FAMILY AND OF COURSE. HIS
FELLOW BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN
BLUE SO NOW THEY’LL COME
OUTSIDE. THANK YOU. GUYS SAID
HONOR GUARDS WILL PRINT ON TO
THE 21 GUN SALUTE 3 VOLLEYS OF
7. YOU HAD JUST FINISHED
HAVING THE FLYOVER A LITTLE
WHILE AGO AS HELICOPTERS FROM
MULTIPLE PAID TRIBUTE. WHAT
THAT IS IS A FLYING A MISSING
MAN FORMATION. A LOT OF THE
TIME YOU’LL SEE THAT FORMATION
FLYOVER EITHER A CEMETERY OR A
PLACE OF HONOR, LIKE HERE IN
DAYTONA. AND THEN AS THEY FLY
OVER ONE OF THOSE HELICOPTERS
PEACEFULLY LEAVES THE
FORMATION KIND OF SYMBOL ING
YOU KNOW WHAT, I GOT IT FROM
HERE. YOU GUYS TAKE IT I’M
GOING TO GO REST. WE’LL ALSO
HEAR THE PLAYING OF TAPS HERE.
THERE COULD BE THE
PRESENTATIONS OF COLORS ALSO
TAKING PLACE HERE BECAUSE.
WE’RE NOT SURE ON HOW THIS IS
GOING TO END AS IT TRAVELS
THROUGH THE CITY’S. SO
OBVIOUSLY IF THEY DO A GRAVE
SITE OR THEY DON’T. THE
PRESENTATION OF COLORS WILL
TAKE PLACE HERE WHERE DAYTONA
BEACH POLICE CHIEF WILL
PRESENT A FOLDED FLAG TO THE
FAMILY AT THAT POINT. SO WILL
BE A LOT OF LOT OF CEREMONIAL
THINGS THAT TAKE PLACE RIGHT
OUTSIDE HERE. IT LOOKS LIKE
THEY’RE GOING TO GET STARTED
HERE VERY SOON. AND YOU KNOW,
GUYS, IT DOES LOOK LIKE WE HAD
A LARGE PRESENCE. YEAH. FROM
MULTIPLE AGENCIES AROUND TOWN
THAT SHOWED UP FOR SOMETHING
LIKE THAT. SO WE KNOW ATTORNEY
GENERAL ASHLEY MOODY AS WELL
AS GOVERNOR DESANTIS WERE IN
ATTENDANCE AS WELL AS THEY
SAID, THEIR FINAL GOODBYES.
>> TO OFFICER RAIN. ARE WE
KNOW THE NEXT STEP AFTER THIS
AFTER THE 21 GUN SALUTE AFTER
THE PLAYING OF TAPS EVERYTHING
ON THE SITE. THEY’RE GOING TO
DRIVE THE PROCESSION THROUGH
THE CITY OF DAYTONA BEACH
RIGHT NOW THEIR BEACHSIDE OF
SO IF YOU’RE UNFAMILIAR OF
DAYTONA GO TO THE CAUSEWAY,
RIGHT. NATIONAL SPEEDWAY
CAUSEWAY FROM BEACH STREET.
ALL THE WAY TO KNOW THE
THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE THEY’RE
ASKING THE COMMUNITY TO LINE
UP WITH FLAGS WITH SIGNS TO
SHOW THEIR SUPPORT WHICH HAS
BEEN OVERWHELMING OVER THE
LAST 8 WEEKS OR SO AS OFFICER
A BEEN FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE
IN CRITICAL CONDITION AFTER
BEING SHOT IN THE LINE DUTY IN
JUNE. SO WE KNOW THAT HOW
DAYTONA BEACH IS OPERATED THUS
FAR. AND WE IMAGINE THAT THE
CITY STREETS ARE LINED UP ON A
MONDAY AFTERNOON.
>> YOU SEEN THE MULTIPLE
DIFFERENT AGENCIES NOW COME
OUT AND LINE UP INFORMATION.
AND FOR THOSE WATCHING AT HOME
DAYTONA BEACH PUT OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND SAY, YOU KNOW, WE WANT YOU GUYS TO LINE THE
STREETS. WE WANT YOU TO COME
OUT AND SUPPORT. AND I THINK.
THAT GIVES THE PEOPLE IN THE
COMMUNITY TIME TO GRIEF. YOU
KNOW, WE’VE ALL BEEN THERE.
WE’VE ALL BEEN SUPPORTING THE
FAMILY WE’VE BEEN WATCHING
THIS AND WHEN AN OFFICER IS
KILLED IN A COMMUNITY. IT’S
PART OF THE COMMUNITY THAT
GOES, YOU KNOW, OFFICER
DEDICATED HIS LIFE TO
PROTECTING THE MEN AND WOMEN
OF DAYTONA THE CITY AND OF
COURSE MEMBERS OF THE STATE.
SO I THINK GIVING THEM THAT
OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW THE
SUPPORT IS NOT ONLY GOOD FOR
THE RAIN OR FAMILY, BUT FOR
THE DEPARTMENT TO LET THEM
KNOW LIKE, YOU KNOW, WOW,
WE’RE TALKING WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF
SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENING.
>> WITHIN A POLICE DEPARTMENT
OF DAYTONA BEACH IS SIZE. IT
HITS DIFFERENT. I KNOW IT’S
NEVER EASY DEPENDING ON HOW
LARGE OR HOW SMALL YOUR POLICE
DEPARTMENT IS. BUT WHEN YOU
HAVE THIS VIEW OF OFFICERS
SWORN OFFICERS. YEAH. IT’S
GOING TO DOES EVERYONE KNOWS
EVERYONE AND CERTAINLY THEY
KNEW OFFICER JASON RAINER.
WELL.
>> YOU KNOW, WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT THE 3 OF US ARE SITTING
HERE CHATTING ABOUT SOMETHING
LIKE THAT. THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU
COMPARE THE SIZE OF AGENCIES
THAT WERE USED TO HERE IN
CENTRAL FLORIDA. ORANGE
COUNTY, FOR EXAMPLE, ABOUT A
1000 SWORN THE HIGHWAY PATROL
OVER A 1000 ALMOST 2000. YOU
MAY NEVER KNOW SOMEONE ELSE.
THAT START. YOU START YOUR
CAREER WITH THE SAME TIME. BUT
AND THE SIZE OF DAYTONA BEACH
IS SMALL. IT IS FULL A FULL
SERVICE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND
WHETHER YOU’RE THE CHIEF
COMMANDER OR THE NEW GUY ON
THE STREET. YOU PROBABLY KNOW
WHO EACH OTHER ARE AND OF
COURSE, EVERYONE KNOWS EACH
OTHER’S FAMILIES. WE SPEND
MORE TIME WITH EACH OTHER. I’M
AT WORK AND WE DO OUR OWN
FAMILIES IN THE LAW
ENFORCEMENT WORLD. AND IT IS A
A. IT IS A DIFFERENT CAREER.
IT IS A DIFFERENT PASSION OF
SERVICE. AND WHAT WE’RE SEEING
HERE IS HOW WE SEND SOMEONE
LIKE THIS OFF WHEN THEY ARE
KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY.
WHO’D ABSOLUTELY DESERVES
THESE TYPE OF HONORS AND YOU
CAN SEE RIGHT NOW A LOT OF
FAMILY MEMBERS STARTING TO
EXIT OUT. AND I DO BELIEVE WE
WILL GET STARTED HERE.
MOMENTARILY WITH THE BEGINNING
OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT. HONORS
TO PAY TRIBUTE TO OFFICER
RAYNER AND AGAIN, THAT WILL BE
THE TAPS PLAYING OF TAPS. I
DID SEE. CEREMONIAL HORSE. I’M
OUTSIDE HERE MULTIPLE MULTIPLE
HONOR GUARDS. MOLLY SAID
EARLIER AS FAR AWAY AS NEW
YORK AND NEW YORK TELL YOU
THAT THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND
WIPE HE DOES AN AMAZING JOB
AND MAKING SURE REPRESENT
ACROSS THE COUNTRY. EVERY
FUNERAL I HAVE BEEN TO THE
STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE CITY
OF NEW YORK HAS REPRESENTED BY
LAW ENFORCEMENT THERE. IT’S
PRETTY INCREDIBLE STUFF.
>> AND WE WANT TO REITERATE,
YOU KNOW, THIS WAS A PRIVATE
CEREMONY AT A LARGE FACILITY
NONETHELESS. BUT A PRIVATE
CEREMONY FOR THE FAMILY,
FRIENDS AND THE LAW
ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY. BUT
MANY PEOPLE HAVE LEFT TRIBUTES
AND HIS CRUISER OVER A POLICE
HEADQUARTERS AS WELL.
>> YEAH. AND THEY’VE THEY’VE
DONATED AS ONE OF THE FAMILY
UPWARDS OF THROUGH A GO FUND
ME ACCOUNT FOR FAMILY TO HELP
THEM GET THROUGH THIS.
ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC TIME. AND
IT’S IT’S REALLY JUST BEEN A
NIGHTMARE FOR THEM. IF YOU’RE
UNFAMILIAR WITH OFFICER
RAIDER, HE STARTED WITH PORT
ORANGE ANOTHER SMALL POLICE
DEPARTMENT RIGHT DOWN THE
STREET FROM DAYTONA WORKED
THERE FOR ABOUT 2 AND A HALF
YEARS AND THEN IN 2019 JOIN
THE DAYTONA BEACH POLICE
DEPARTMENT AND JUST 26 YEARS
OLD, WHICH IS HARD TO WRAP
YOUR HEAD AROUND WHEN YOU
THINK ABOUT SOMEONE THAT YOUNG
AND LOSING THEIR LIFE. IN A
MOMENT WHERE HE WAS JUST DOING
HIS JOB RIGHT. NOT. AND I KNOW
THAT’S WHAT OFFICERS DEPUTIES
TROOPER SIGN UP FOR THEY KNOW
EVERY DAY THAT THAT THE THE
CHALLENGES AND THE DANGER OF
THEIR JOB. BUT YOU DON’T
EXPECT. YOU KNOW, YOU’RE JUST
CHECKING SOMETHING OUT AND FOR
SOUTH VALLEY SO QUICKLY AND.
THEY RESPONDED. THEY DID THE
DAYTONA BEACH POLICE
DEPARTMENT RESPONDED. LAW
ENFORCEMENT ALL ACROSS THE
STATE INTO GEORGIA AS THEY
FOUND THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE.
SO, YES, WE’RE GETTING
EVERYTHING SET UP HERE THE
OCEAN CENTER. YES, A VERY
LARGE FACILITY. SO YOU CAN
IMAGINE THAT PLACE WAS WAS
RATHER FILLED. AND IT’S JUST,
YOU KNOW, THAT THE PAGEANTRY
OF WHAT OCCURS EVERY SINGLE
TIME IS AS WE WATCH THESE
UNFORTUNATE FUNERAL. WE DON’T
WANT TO SEE THEM. BUT. EVERY
TIME THAT A FUNERAL HAPPENS
FOR A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER
LOSE THEIR LIFE IN THE LINE OF
DUTY. THE PAGEANTRY IS JUST
OVERWHELMING. I THINK IT
REALLY HIT IT. SOMETHING ABOUT
IT JUST. JUST MAKES YOU FEEL,
YOU KNOW, GRATEFUL FOR THE
SERVICE THAT THAT THESE
OFFICERS PROVIDE EVERY SINGLE
DAY. YOU TOOK THE WORDS OUT
RIGHT OUT BECAUSE IT’S LIKE AN
EVENT LIKE THIS IS IS FITTING
FOR THE HERO THAT HAS LEFT.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT ONLY.
>> TO SHOW THE SERVICE OF A
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER OR ANY
FIRST RESPONDER DIES IN THE
LINE OF DUTY WHETHER TO
FIREFIGHTER OR PARAMEDIC. BUT
IT IT IT’S AN EMOTIONAL
EXPERIENCE FOR THE COMMUNITY.
THEY COME TOGETHER THEY SEE
THIS. WE UNFORTUNATELY OVER
THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS HAVE
LOST A LOT IS COUPLE OF AS
EVEN LIKE FOR LOT OF OFFICERS
HAVE DIED FOR FROM ILLNESS
FROM COVID-19 AND THEN OTHER
ALTERCATIONS. YOU’RE RIGHT,
BRIDGETTE, YOU KNOW, THE STATE
OF FLORIDA HAS LOST. I WANT TO
SAY ABOUT 6 LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICERS WITHIN ABOUT 2, 3
WEEKS THAT THE WEAR ON
EVERYBODY THAT, YOU KNOW, WE
ATE AND YOU GUYS HIT ON HIT IT
RIGHT. THE NAIL ON THE HEAD
WITH IT. IT IS A
COMMUNITY-BASED RESPONSE.
THESE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
AREN’T OUT THERE JUST SERVING
THEMSELVES. AND I THINK THAT’S
PART OF WHAT MAKES IT SO
EMOTIONAL. WHAT MAKES THE
PUMPS POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE.
SO BECAUSE THEY’RE GOING OUT
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN LIVE
LIVES WITHOUT WORRYING WHAT
GOES WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND STUFF
LIKE THAT. IT WAS SO STRIKING
EVERY TIME WE A FUNERAL FOR A
FALLEN OFFICER IS THAT WHILE
THIS IS OCCURRING. HIS FELLOW
FALLEN OFFICER IS THAT WHILE
THIS IS OCCURRING. HIS FELLOW That’s pizza with a purpose. OFFICERS IS FORMER COLLEAGUES
OUT PATROLLING DOING THEIR JOB
AND YOU’RE NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT
IN ATTENDANCE. YOU KNOW, THAT
EVERYONE WANTS TO BE THERE BUT
NOT EVERYONE CAN BECAUSE THEY
NEED TO SERVE AND PROTECT.
>> THE STREETS WHILE THIS IS
HAPPENING. I THINK THAT’S JUST
FITTING FOR THE FOR THE FOR
THE PASSION, FOR THE PASSION
OF THE JOB FOR WHAT THEY SIGN
UP FOR. THEY KNOW WHAT THEY
SIGNED UP FOR AND. EVERYONE
WANTS TO BE HERE. BUT NOT
EVERYONE CAN.
>> RIGHT. AND IT’S STANDING IN
SOLIDARITY ACROSS THE STATE
FROM THE KEYS TO THE PANHANDLE
EVERY UNIFORM OUT THERE, NO
MATTER THE COLOR OF IT. IT IS
IS MORNING AT THIS POINT. IT
DOES LOOK THIS FORMATION IS
BEING PUT AT ATTENTION.
>> WE MIGHT BE GETTING
UNDERWAY NOW WITH SOME HONORS
IN THE OUTSIDE AREA.
