View all 16 ReflectionsThis weekend, my family and I had the pleasure of meeting Patrolman Enloe’s son, Sergeant Major Don Enloe, also of the Colorado State Patrol. Sergeant Major Enloe celebrated 30 years of service with the Patrol on June 1, 2023. Sergeant Major Enloe is a consummate professional and a true gentleman. I know Patrolman Enloe would be proud of all that his son has accomplished throughout his career. RIP Patrolman Enloe.
