Week of May 18, 2026: Ignacio High School School Resource Officer Resigned While Under Investigation
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. This Monday was a holiday, so here we are on Tuesday. Those actions from POST are not necessarily only those 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 we have few again and few documents in time for publishing again. Blue Surveillance received a few documents for previously reported officer Benjamin Williams, but not enough to know yet why he was going to be terminated.

Paul Allen (CO-056-573)

  • Terminated for cause as a deputy with Gunnison County Sheriff’s Office on May 14
