Custom rocking horse gifted to children of fallen Orlando Police Officer Kevin Valencia

ORLANDO, Fla. - The Orlando Police Department (OPD) is thanking an organization for helping out the family of a fallen officer.

OPD posted on Facebook a thank you to an organization called Remembering Officer's Children (R.O.C.K) for building a custom rocking horse for the children of fallen OPD Officer Kevin Valencia.

On July 11, 2018, Valencia was nearly killed by a domestic violence suspect.

He responded to the Westbrook Apartment Complex, near Universal Studios, where a convicted felon was holed up with four children who he eventually killed.

Officer Valencia was shot in the head during the incident.

In March 2021, Valencia died.

The organization builds and donates custom rocking horses to children of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.
