Officer Michael Favors passed away unexpectedly at his home on Monday. Favors served in the public housing, neighborhood policing, and property crimes units since 1991, the post states.
Favors was off-duty at the time of his death. The department says he “will be greatly missed by his family and friends and his CPD brothers and sisters” and asks people to keep his “family and friends in your thoughts during this difficult time.”
Another CPD officer, Sgt. John Monroe, also died unexpectedly at his home earlier this year.
