Part of the miles-long procession of Colorado law enforcement and firefighting vehicles that accompanied a hearse carrying the body of Arvada Police Officer Gordon Beesley to Foothills Community Church in Lafayette on Tuesday, June 29, 2021.

This episode of Colorado Today is hosted by Bazi Kanani and Arlo Pérez Esquivel. It’s edited and produced by Jo Erickson, Mateo Schimpf, and Stephanie Wolf. The executive producer is Rachel Estabrook. Theme music by Pedro Lumbraño.
