A Legacy in Her Honor: Remembering Denise Fransua

July 03, 2026 • Jeannine Anderson & Natalie Halcomb

We often tell ourselves that because we work in law enforcement or the justice system, we could 'never' get caught up in an abusive relationship. But Denise Fransua, a dedicated probation officer from Parker, Colorado, reminds us that the reality is much more complex. This week, we share Denise's story—not just to talk about the tragedy of her passing, but to honor the professional she was and the warning her life provides to us all. We discuss how even the most prepared individuals can be targeted by coercive control and why no one is immune.
