Law Enforcement Settlement News

Colorado police to pay record settlement to Christian Glass family.

The family of Christian Glass, who was shot and killed by a Clear Creek County sheriff’s deputy last summer, will receive a $19 million settlement, the largest known law enforcement settlement in Colorado history. The settlement includes police reform and mental health training initiatives, a public park dedicated to Glass, and a virtual reality training program reflecting Glass’s death. The law enforcement agencies involved have also issued rare apologies for initially misleading the public about what happened. Two officers have been indicted and fired, and their trials could be held later this year.
