Week of April 13: Another Detentions Deputy Falsified Cell Checks, and a Longmont Officer was Found Under the Influence With a Firearm While Off-duty

Welcome to my weekly sum-up. Every Monday I send out a short summary of the last week’s officers that have landed on Colorado’s Peace Officer Standards and Training public database of law enforcement misconduct and actions. They are not necessarily only actions that have happened in the last week, but those that have been added, and consist of any other context I could find. Additionally are officers with otherwise obvious misconduct from around the same time.

This week another school resource officer was terminated and a host of updates of previously reported on officers.

• Voluntarily relinquished certification as an officer with Aurora Police Department on April 6, 2026

The charge was regarding Harroun, while off-duty, punching a woman with a physical disability who was walking her dog, according to the Sentinel, who then “fell to the ground and Douglas got on top of her and continued to punch her in the head four to five more times” in January 2023.

Officer Updates:

Records that must come directly from a law enforcement agency are not required to be released within three business days, as it is with CORA requests to municipalities. Sometimes an officer is added to the database later in the week, and there isn’t time for records requests to come before the newsletter has to be sent out. Sometimes the records we get back are resumes or job applications without much more information, but sometimes they are documents that do lend more important details. Whenever any of these updates come in, we’ll put them here.

Holden Vanderpool (CO-8326-1158)

• Resigned while under investigation as an officer with Palmer Lake Police Department on Feb. 18
• Formerly with El Paso County Sheriff’s Office

• Claims that “numerous concerns” he raised “through appropriate channels on multiple occasions regarding policy violations, ethical concerns, and potential civil rights issues committed by other officers” have been “not investigated or addressed, or ignored entirely,” and he yet he has “endured ostensibly disproportionate scrutiny and selective enforcement...”
• Internal affairs investigation was requested from Palmer Lake Police Department on March 27 with no responsive records yet.

Alicia Lilly (CO-3982-9979)

• Resigned while under investigation as an officer with Longmont Police Department on March 25, 2026
• Longmont Police Department quoted Blue Surveillance $1,640 and 40 hours of time for the IA report relevant to Lilly’s resignation while under investigation
• Update: LPD supplied a summary of the report requested.
• Lilly, while off-duty, was contacted by LPD at a private residence while under the influence and in possession of an “unsecured firearm.” According to the summary, this “raised concern for a potential violation of Colorado’s prohibited‑use‑of‑weapons statute,” but no criminal charges were filed, and due to Lilly resigning, the internal investigation was not completed. The summary continues that, had the investigation continued, she likely would have been terminated. The summary does not describe why Lilly was contacted by LPD

Colton McKee (CO-013-508)

• Resigned while under investigation as an officer with Longmont Police Department on March 25, 2026
• Longmont Police Department quoted Blue Surveillance $1,025 and 25 hours of time for the IA report relevant to McKee’s resignation while under investigation
• Update: LPD supplied a summary of the report requested. The summary is put in its entirety below because of its vagueness.
• “On November 7, 2025, while on duty and in uniform, McKee conducted an unsolicited, officer-initiated visit to the private residence of an elderly at-risk community member. He entered the home without notifying dispatch and did not activate his body-worn camera during the contact. The complainant later reported that aspects of McKee’s behavior during this visit made her uncomfortable and caused her to question his intentions. She contacted neighbors and family immediately afterward and subsequently reported feeling fear and anxiety at the sight of police vehicles due to concern it might be him.”
• “The investigation determined that this was not an isolated incident. Over several months, McKee made multiple similar visits to the same residence while on duty, again without notifying dispatch and without activating his body-worn camera. His explanations for these repeated contacts were inconsistent, lacked verification, and did not support his claim that the visits were part of a broader community-policing effort.”
• “McKee’s stated reasons for the visits, his decision not to activate his BWC, and his interpretations of the complainant’s behavior were inconsistent with the evidence.”
• The summary at no point describes what McKee’s behavior included.
