SAN JOSE — Authorities on Monday identified a community service officer killed by a driver allegedly under the influence Saturday night when the driver struck a parked police vehicle as the officer helped direct traffic around an earlier crash.
Long Pham, a longtime San Jose resident, who had worked as a community service officer since 2022, San Jose police officials said at a news conference Monday afternoon.
“Today, our police family is heartbroken,” said acting police Chief Paul Joseph.
