COLORADO SPRINGS — Colorado Springs police officers were disciplined during a two-year span for transgressions that included sexual harassment, shooting at a hawk after a bird attacked an officer, and oversleeping and missing a court case.
Those details were released to The Colorado Springs Gazette after an open records request of the police department’s Internal Affairs documents. The reports are from 2007 and most of 2008, the newspaper said Sunday.
Police noted that the percentage of complaints against officers is small, and that misconduct is punished or handled with additional training. Police would not reveal the details of discipline against officers, saying that it would be against state law to do so.
