Member Concerns:
- Difficulties navigating the work comp/risk management process, specifically with respect to care and management of claims. A meeting will be scheduled with risk management to clarify and mediate as necessary.
- Concern over charging CSPD officers with careless driving for on-duty traffic accidents rather than a perhaps more appropriate, lesser charge. Board to follow up for clarification.
- Use of public, peer viewed ETACS versus confidential ETACS. Board to follow-up for clarification on determining factors.
Board Discussion Items:
- Sheriff Endorsement: As a follow up to the CSPPA’s endorsement of Sheriff Bill Elder in his bid for re-election, PPA will be represented at the Republican General Assembly in March to speak on Sheriff Elder’s behalf.
- Role of PPA with respect to critical incidents and critical incident reviews: Policy regarding Use of Deadly Force, notifications, expectations regarding legal council, and follow-ups by PPA Board members to be discussed with Department staff.
- Gun buy-back: Gun buy-back to occur in July; both members and nonmembers will be able to access the PPA for completion of necessary paperwork.
- Sales tax on weapons: Sales tax will no longer be collected by the CSPPA when weapons are ordered from out-of-state; instead, a use tax can be paid directly by purchasers via their individual tax returns (see https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/tax/consumer-use-tax-quick-answers).
- CSPPA Summer BBQ: The CSPPA will again host a department-wide summer family party on July 21st. Details will be forthcoming.
