DENVER - Today, Governor Polis ordered flags to be flown at half-staff from sunrise to sundown on the day of the Officer Evan Dunn’s memorial service, who was struck by a suspected impaired driver while responding to a crash on Colorado 58. The date of the service has not yet been set
“I am deeply saddened by the loss of Officer Dunn, and my thoughts go out to his family and friends on the Golden Police Department. We also hope for a speedy recovery for the officer who was injured in this incident. Our law enforcement officers put themselves in harm's way to protect Coloradans day in and day out, and that’s exactly what Officer Dunn and his partner, Officer Bethany Grusing, were doing. We are grateful for their service and commitment to keeping Coloradans safe” said Governor Polis.  

Officer Dunn also served as a pilot and company commander in the Colorado National Guard.
