The Boulder County District Attorney’s Office maintains a list of at least 13 law enforcement officers since 2014 who were found, through internal affairs investigations, to have been untruthful or violated codes of conduct.

Most of those officers and deputies subsequently resigned or were fired, but a few remain in uniform. At least one has been hired by another police department after landing on the DA’s Brady list.

This list includes what is known from public records about why each of the officers is on the list; that information varies, as most Boulder County police agencies declined to release internal affairs reports or discuss the cases.

The Times-Call and Daily Camera reached out to each of the current and former officers on the Boulder DA’s list; most either declined to comment, could not be reached or could not be located.

Comments from those who responded are included here.
