Denver Police Officers Honored For Bravery, Dedication

Denver Police Chief Paul Pazen handed out the awards.
"They certainly didn't do the work in order to be recognized, they did it because it is the right thing to do and we couldn't be more proud of their efforts and the efforts of everyone who makes up the Denver Police Department," said Pazen.
