Rest in peace Agent Saforo
15 Aug 2023
Our hearts are heavy today as we grieve the loss of Lakewood Police Agent Fred Saforo. A veteran of LPD for the last four years, Agent Saforo lost a brave battle with an illness. He is remembered as "the guy everyone wanted to work with". His constant smile and positive attitude will be dearly missed by all of us. Rest easy our brother. We have the watch from here.
Agent Saforo was 26 years old.

Utah and Colorado compete over a lot of things – who has the better mountains, the better skiing, the better economy, etc. I think it’s Utah, and @GovofCO thinks it's Colorado. But one thing we agree on, is that Americans need to learn how to #DisagreeBetter and that healthy conflict results in better policy. This year as chair and vice chair of @NatlGovsAssoc, we’re setting out to do just that. We hope you’ll join us!
