"They're selling really fast," Chipman commented.
The winners of the six cash prizes, including the top prize of $2,500, will be announced at a drawing May 11. Tickets cost $10 apiece.
A fund to benefit Carvello's family has also been established, Chipman said.
Donations may be mailed to P.O. Box 1444, Cambridge, MA 02138.
Carvello grew up in East Cambridge and is well known in the community.
When Chipman went to the post office to open the fund's box, the staff there, who remembered Carvello, requested that Chipman bring them raffle tickets.
Many HUPD officers cited Carvello as a model officer. He joined HUPD last spring after several years working at the Middlesex County House of Correction and working part-time for HUPD as a dispatcher for two years.
