The D.C. police laid to rest Officer Paul Dittamo yesterday at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Lake Ridge.

Dittamo died on duty last Saturday when his police cruiser crashed into a utility pole. He had been on the beat for just more than a year. He was the first D.C. cop to die in the line of duty since 2007.
