of the police motorcycles, starting to head off on the procession. >> yes and as we watched this news chopper 2 showing us all of the activity happening right now. we know this he be heading to the pavilion in san jose for the memorial. that is where we are standing by. we have been there since early this morning, what are the preparations there? >> lots of family and friends of the two fallen officers we have seen come here shortly. you can see a lot of activity. there is a fire truck from the santa cruz fire department that's coming in just a lot of activity as they prepare for the memorial service. they pre-- let's go to video that we just took moments ago. it shows san rafael police cars as well as san marin -- from marin county sheriff vehicles

rolling in to the pavilion. already earlier, before the profession started. they are all here to honor sergeant baker and detective butler who are being remembered today. baker was with the police department for 28 years, he leaves a wife, two daughters and a son who works in the department. butler was a veteran of sports for ten years, she leaves her long term boyfriend and their two young son, both were shot by a suspect last tuesday. there has been such a show of support for the department. the pavilion can hold up to 20,000 people. police officers are doing last minute preparations for the service. police and chp -- other agencies are coordinating the service here. back out here live we are looking at a picture of police directing traffic. that's because here on autumn street this is where the motorcade will becoming down.

okay. she doesn't have audio right now. we have news chopper 2 giving us a real -- overhead look at all the activities happening right now. very, very long stretch limo right there. i would assume family and vip's who will be heading out. claudine is down on the ground involved a lot of things, getting the lay of the land. >> and i understand that -- i think it's a stretch humvee in the front that immediate family members there be in those and then the extended family and very close friends will be in some of the buses that you can see lined up there and then again you can see to the right of those, it looks like two patrol cars side by side. just a huge line of them with the lights flashing. this whole procession is supposed to be two miles long. they will travel about 30 to 40

miles an hour. it was -- first supposed to start about 8:45 and sometimes these -- it takes a little whilto get rolling but it looks like they are partly underway. we saw some of the motorcycle officers starting to move and it looks like they are starting to move here as well as they will start the long procession. >> and because of what you are talking about we want to bring sal to come on back because traffic will be affected in a number of ways by what we are watching. >> we saw it dave. people were trying to get over the hill before and 17 is already crowded with people realizing it'll go on between santa cruz and san jose. northbound 17, the route will be 17 north to 85 south. which is the street exit. in downtown san jose. there will be significant delays. at least 200 police cars in a long line. we mentioned after the service a lot of the cars will go back

down. these are live pictures of the cars getting ready. they are beginning to move now. we will see that procession reach downtown santa cruz and then highway 17 very shortly as you can see. this will create major traffic issues for the area and you will not be able to pass the motorcade. they won't let you. plan ahead, plan accordingly and try to stay off the road if you want to avoid major delays. >> that's good advice. we have claudine. she is also on the ground. set the scene for us. what are we watching? >> what you are looking at are all the vehicles getting ready to leave in the procession. you saw the two vehicles come forward, the black colored suv and the -- the humvee. those were the family members. the officers were given a 15 second warning to let them know the family would becoming by. they stood at attention and saluted the families.

we are just now seeing them start -- chp in the front of this procession. the family members and then members of the santa cruz police department that are -- lined up with lights flashing. it's getting ready to go at any moment. they are about 10 minutes passed that point. i'm looking at the streets where they are headed and -- there is an overpass, people standing there, just to let the officers know that this community is behind them, that they mourn today with them. i'm watching the chp vehicles at the very front of the line, starting to move so, picture you are look at all the vehicle that will be moving after this. this is a long procession. 200 vehicles estimated to be in it which means, it'll stretch about two miles long. the car is in front of us, starting to -- you will start to see the movement of the cars
