Victoria Police to End Routine Funeral Escorts

Starting April 14, the Victoria Police Department will no longer provide routine funeral escorts, shifting the responsibility to funeral homes and families. Without police assistance, funeral processions must obey regular traffic laws, and drivers should plan routes accordingly. Authorities urge caution and patience from all motorists when encountering processions on local roads. The department says it will monitor the impact of this change but has not set a timeline for reviewing or reinstating the policy.
