Week of February 23rd: Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office and Wiggins Police Department Terminate Officers
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 all actions that have happened in the last week, but those that have been added, and consist of any other context I could find.
This week was a small batch of officers either being terminated or resigning without much available information, and records requests still being fulfilled.
