  Summary:

Jacqueline Armendariz and Chinook Center v. City of Colorado Springs, Daniel Summey, B.K. Steckler, Jason S. Otero, Roy A. Ditzler, Federal Bureau of Investigation, No. 23-cv-01951-CNS-MDB, United States District Court, District of Colorado


The Civil Action Investigation Committee has met and recommends that the City represent Lt. Ditzler, Sgt. Otero, and Det. Steckler as required by the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act and the Peace Officer’s Liability Act. They all were acting in the course and scope of their employment and not in a willful and wanton manner.  As usual, it is recommended that the City reserve the right not to pay any award of punitive damages.
