Statement from El Paso County Sheriff’s Office Sheriff Richard D. Wiles on the loss of El Paso Police Chief Greg Allen.
-
“While the El Paso Police Department and the citizens of El Paso lost their beloved Chief of Police, I also lost a dear friend. I met Greg Allen early in my career and later appointed him as a Deputy Chief because of his unwavering support of the patrol officers who worked in the field; this support continuing during his time as Chief of Police. Greg was a strong believer in law and order and held steadfast to his commitment of holding criminals accountable.
I could go on and on about Greg’s accomplishments and recognitions, but the thing I will miss most about him is our long phone conversations in which we were able to vent to one another. Today we lost a dedicated public servant, and friend to many, who gave over forty-four years of his life to the service of his community. I will miss you Greg. On behalf of all the men and women of the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, I send our sincerest condolences to his wife, Rosanne, his family and friends, and every member of the El Paso Police Department.”
