Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

It is heartwarming to see the words written by so many, especially the interest by Police Officer Jeff Huss, HBPD. We thank you.

Alex is my Great-Great Uncle and was married to Kitty Collins Brighton. After Alex's death, Kitty became a Jail Matron and later served as a Colorado State Legislator.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 103rd anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never dimishes respect and you will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace

Policeman Brighton - Your daughter was born only two hours before your death? My God, what a tragedy. Three weeks ago, I stood in the State Assembly chambers when your name was one of almost 250 read off during a motion regarding next month's Police Memorial Week. You are not forgotten.

Thank you for you service to the people of Trinidad and the state of Colorado. May God grant you eternal rest and may His perpetual light shine upon you.

Policeman Alex Brighton:

I was saddened to learn that your had gone unacknowledged for nearly a century. I am proud to have brought your untold story to light with the help of many Coloradoans.
