About 100 people watched as the flag was raised and lowered before departing in a motorcycle-led procession.<\/p>\n<p>Following the campus ceremony, the flag will be returned to the Colorado State Patrol Academy in Golden where there is a Colorado Law Enforcement Memorial. Swasey\u2019s name will be added to the memorial during a May 6 ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Swasey was killed Nov. 27, 2015 while responding to an active shooter situation at the Planned Parenthood Clinic in Colorado Springs.
