True to the comments about Greg going out of his way to be helpful, Greg was working for fpha a few years ago when he came to my aid rendering assistance in a civilian role helping make an arrest of a person wanted on a warrant. I was pleased to see Greg’s familiar face come to the rescue as I had worked with Greg when he was a tribal and poplar city police officer. Rip Greg and condolences to his family.
