FORT COLLINS, CO — In a heartwarming show of support, first responders from across Northern Colorado came together this week to celebrate the release of a Larimer County Sheriff’s Office deputy from the hospital. After sustaining injuries in an officer-involved shooting last week, the deputy was met with a powerful display of solidarity as law enforcement officers, firefighters, and emergency personnel from multiple agencies lined up to welcome him back.
The emotional send-off highlighted the deep bonds within the first responder community. Officers from various departments, wearing their agency patches with pride, stood alongside medical staff from UCHealth, who provided expert care throughout the deputy’s hospitalization.
“We are incredibly grateful to our many first responder partners who showed up today to support our brother,” the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office shared in a statement. “Seeing so many familiar faces really meant the world. A huge thank you also goes out to the UCHealth team for their skilled and compassionate care.”
