Public interest: Internal Affairs Investigation report for Andrew Buen

Release: The Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office is committed to the fullest level of transparency the law allows.

DCSO Final Report CCSO OIS

The shooting death of Mr. Christian Glass continues to be difficult for everyone involved. To maintain the highest levels of transparency Clear Creek County Sheriff Rick Albers asked, and Douglas County Sheriff’s Office accepted the request to conduct the Internal Affairs (IA) Investigation of Mr. Buen. Consistent with our pledge of transparency, we are releasing the Douglas County report today.

The IA Investigation by Douglas County was completed and reviewed by the Sherriff. Their independent investigation reaffirms the failure of policy and training that resulted in Mr. Buen’s termination. The detailed, unbiased investigation confirmed that Mr. Buen was not within CCCSO policy and procedures were not followed when Mr. Buen used deadly force against Mr. Christian Glass. The 72-page report painstakingly details Mr. Glass’s tragic loss of life, the excessive force against Mr. Glass, mistakes, and outright failures.

CCSO policy and procedures are reflective of national best-practice standards. However, the report concludes that Mr. Buen did not adhere to those standards. CCSO has an obligation to be better tomorrow than we are today. At the direction of the Sheriff, the Citizens Advisory Board will continue to review, evaluate, and make recommendations to improve procedures and ensure policies remain consistent with national standards. Command Staff will continue to assess each division, improve training and resources, and make recommendations to improve policies, procedures, and services in every area of operations. CCSO will prioritize Crisis Intervention Teams, Mental Health response, and Co-Responder programs. These partnerships and steps are crucial to the value of life, success, and constitutional policing.
