Two former officers are looking for more accountability in the profession after recently turning in their badges.
HB24-1460 says if a peace officer fails to report an allegation of misconduct, he or she could be charged with a misdemeanor.
"You know, I just feel like that somebody needs to change the ways of this good-ole boys' club mentality," Rees said. "You have a duty to investigate when you know your fellow officer has been harassed or threatened or put in danger by another officer," Herod said. To be clear, Colorado’s public safety professionals operate in a highly regulated, policy-driven environment with well-established employment protocols and administrative and licensing requirements. The state has one of the highest levels of public safety oversight and data collection in the country and was the first state in the nation to eliminate qualified immunity for officers."
