Honoring the Memory of Officer Aleman


The Las Cruces Bulletin shares in the profound grief gripping our community following the tragic passing of Officer Aleman from the Doña Ana County Sheriff's Department. His loss resonates deeply across Las Cruces and Doña Ana County, a stark reminder of the sacrifices made by those who protect us.
Officer Aleman was more than just a badge; he was a cornerstone of his family—a devoted husband and a loving father. He was a courageous public servant whose dedication to our safety was unwavering. The weight of his absence will be felt not only by those who loved him most, but by every resident who benefits from the selfless service of our law enforcement.

Our thoughts and most heartfelt condolences are with his wife, children, and extended family during this unimaginable time. We also stand in solidarity with his brothers and sisters in uniform, who continue to serve our community with honor and bravery. May Officer Aleman's memory be a source of strength and comfort, and may his family find solace in the outpouring of love and support from a grateful community.
