Each year at 10 a.m. on the first Friday of May, Law Enforcement Officers from around the State gather at the Colorado Law Enforcement Memorial to honor the fallen. Among those who gathered at the Memorial this morning were about 30 Officers who bicycled from the Aurora Police Memorial to the Colorado Memorial. We rode to honor four Officers whose names were engraved on the Memorial this year:
- Pueblo Police Officer Nicholas Heine, EOW June 21, 2008
- Trinidad Police Officer Alexander Brighton, EOW January 22, 1909
- Rocky Ford City Marshall Jesse Craig, Sr., EOW July 4, 1911
- Rocky Ford Night Marshall Jacob Kipper, EOW July 4, 1911
Special thanks to the Aurora, Denver and Lakewood Police Departments for helping us make the ride safe and successful.

My father is on that wall, and I have been there a couple of times. My father was William DeRosa, Suffolk county police office, killed in the line of duty in January of 1976. Thank you for taking the time to blog about the wall.
Thank you!
