The Colorado State Patrol will pay more than $1 million as part of a settlement stemming from a wrongful death shooting, according to the ACLU.

The settlement resolves a federal lawsuit on behalf of the family of Jason Alan Kemp, who was fatally shot in 2010 inside his Grand Junction home when he refused entrance to state troopers who did not have a warrant, the ACLU said in a media release Monday.

The state patrol will pay more than $1 million to Kemp’s family and it will also “implement new training modules for all current and future officers to include specific instruction on the warrant requirement of the Fourth Amendment and its limited exceptions,” the ACLU said.

“ACLU lawyers were prepared to prove not only that state troopers violated the Constitution when they unjustifiably kicked in Jason Kemp’s front door and shot and killed him, but also that supervisors all the way up the chain of command were responsible for recklessly deficient training that was the ultimate cause of this needless and preventable death,” ACLU Legal Director Mark Silverstein said in the release. “It is our hope that these reforms will prevent a similar tragedy from happening again.”

The settlement agreement provides for comprehensive training on the Fourth Amendment at the Academy level, as well as on-the-job training related to investigations that lead troopers to homes, with a specific focus on DUI investigations in the home.
