The community service for Commander Scott Aaron will take place on February 3.

Funeral plans have been announced for an Oxnard Police Department commander who died at a training event in early January.

Commander Scott Aaron was in Orange County on January 9 for a training program. When he didn't show up for the scheduled training, the Orange County Sheriff's Department conducted a welfare check.

They found Aaron's body in his hotel room. A cause of death hasn't been released, but officials don't suspect foul play.

Aaron served in the Marines before starting a career in law enforcement in 1996. He joined the Oxnard Police Department in 2002 and was promoted to the rank of commander last year.

The funeral is scheduled for February 3 at Oxnard's New Life Community Church at 1251 North Rice Ave., and is open to the public. It will be followed by a procession to Conejo Mountain Memorial Park in Camarillo, where Aaron will be interred.
