(EL PASO COUNTY, Colo.) — Representative Jeff Crank participated in a ride-along with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office (EPSO) and was able to experience the work law enforcement does first-hand.

Crank joined EPSO deputies on Saturday, Feb. 8 for a ride-along to learn about the challenges members of law enforcement face as they work to serve their communities. EPSO shared that during the ride along, Crank was able to visit and observe partners from the Cimarron Hills Fire Department as they treated an individual experiencing a medical emergency.

“Thank you, Congressman, for taking time out of your day to learn more about our agency, our mission, and our commitment to the citizens of El Paso County,” EPSO wrote via Facebook.

Crank also thanked EPSO and their efforts to keep the community safe.
