Add to My HeroesGregory A. Geoffrion
Inspector Geoffrion succumbed to injuries sustained one week earlier when he was struck by a car. While on patrol during evening hours he came upon a car on the northbound shoulder of I-25 near Budaghers with all of its doors and trunk open. He and a backup unit from the Sandoval County Sheriff's Department went to investigate the vehicle and saw a woman walking towards them and the vehicle. The officers told her to stop but she ran across the traffic lanes of I-25.
Inspector Geoffrion pursued her across the road and had caught her when he was hit by a northbound vehicle, sending him into the path of a northbound van, which ran over his legs. The deputy dragged Officer Geoffrion to safety and called for medical assistance. Inspector Geoffrion was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his wounds seven days later.

View all 15 ReflectionsIt saddens me to this day that Greg is not here with us. On that November night I was the Paramedic on-scene as the narrative describes. I have lived the last the last 19 years thinking about Greg nearly everyday. To say the least what happened was horrific for him, as well as me. I struggle to this day with the senseless loss of a good man. I can only hope and pray that Greg is smiling down on us, as he is in a better place. Rest in peace my Brother. Mike
