Words fail me. Absolutely heartbreaking. All my love to the LGBTQ community in the wake of this tragedy.

[Fort Collins Police @FCPolice]

Chief Swoboda here - Last night in Colorado Springs, at least five people lost their lives and many more were injured in a heinous act of violence at an LGBTQ+ nightclub. Words can't begin to express the grief, heartbreak & devastation rippling from this senseless atrocity. 1/3

[Kate Kimble @KateKimbleComms]

Another staggering loss for our area. Weld County Sheriff's Office Deputy Alexis Hein-Nutz was on her way to work earlier this week when she was killed by a hit-and-run driver. She was 24.

Bring some extra light wherever you go today. The world needs it.

Heartbroken for friends & colleagues at @ArvadaPolice as they mourn the murder of Officer Dillon Vakoff.

The suspect has been arrested & I’m seeing his name all over headlines today. Let’s just stop. He deserves #NoNotoriety.

Keep the focus on the victims, not the criminals.

I can’t stress enough the importance of internal communication. We can’t just take care of our external audiences.

We have to help give a voice and listen to those who are ambassadors for our agencies’ story.
