When tragedy strikes a law enforcement agency, the loss is felt by everyone. Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn, president of the Colorado Fallen Hero Foundation, has made it his mission to ensure no department faces that pain alone. The nonprofit steps in when an officer dies in the line of duty — helping coordinate funeral arrangements, providing critical resources, and offering support to the fallen’s fellow officers and family as they navigate their grief together.
